Wipers and washers

Windscreen wipers
Position 1 is a spring-loaded position that
will produce a single sweep of the wipers.
Set the delay period for intermittent wiping
using the thumb wheel on the stalk switch.
There are 5 delay periods from which to
choose, ranging from 2 to 15 seconds.
The wipers always return to their home
position when the ignition is turned off.
To leave the wipers positioned vertically on
the windscreen, proceed as follows:
1 Switch off the engine and remove the
remote control.
2 Activate the wipers within the next
16 seconds by pressing the stalk
switch down.
The next time the ignition is turned on, the
stalk switch must be pressed down once so
that the wipers return to their home position.
Changing wiper blades, see page 188.

Washers
Activate the washers by pulling the stalk
switch towards the steering wheel.
When the washers are operated, the wipers
will make 3, 4 or 5 sweeps, depending on
how long the washers were kept on. If
the speed of the car is less than 12 mph
(20 km/h), the wipers will make an addi-
tional sweep after roughly 8 seconds.
If the amount of fluid is less than 1 litre,
headlight washing 3 is not activated as a
means of prioritizing washing of the wind-
screen. The following message appears on
the DIC:
Washer fluid level low.
Refill.
