In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is
automatically reduced when the speed of
the vehicle drops below 3 mph (5 km/h).
When the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h)
again, the wiping frequency returns to the
original frequency (fast or normal).
Single wipe
► Press and release the control stalk or briey
pull the control stalk towards you.
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
A nal wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
With automatic air conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to
protect the passenger compartment from any
odour.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do
not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the uid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Front intermittent wiping
In Intermittent mode, the driver can adjust the
wiping frequency by turning the ring to one of the
5 available positions.
The rst (upper) position corresponds to the
longest time interval between 2 wipes for light
rain.
The last (lower) position corresponds to the
shortest time interval between 2 wipes for heavy
rain.
A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a
lower position triggers a conrmation wiping.
After the ignition has been switched o
for more than 1 minute with the wiper
control stalk in the INT, 1 or 2 position, when
the ignition is switched on again:
– the system works as soon as the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the outside
temperature is below +3°C.
– the system works immediately, if the
outside temperature is above +3°C.
