WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the wind-
screen.
This can be useful:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the wind-
screen in winter;
– replace the blades ➥ 5.28.
With the ignition on or engine started,
lift the stalk 1 twice to position A (single
sweep). The blades stop slightly away
from the bonnet.
To return the blades to low position,
with the ignition on, ensure that the
wipers have folded down onto the wind-
screen, then move the stalk 1 to posi-
tion A (single sweep).
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.

In the event of obstacles on the
windscreen (dirt, snow, ice etc.),
clean the windscreen (including the
central area located behind the inte-
rior rear view mirror) before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
de-icing,
ing).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
