Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the ve-
hicle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.
Positions A, C and D are accessible
with the ignition on. Position E is
accessible only when the engine is
running.

Efficiency of a wiper blade
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. How long they last depends
on you:
– it must remain clean: clean the
blade and the screen regularly
with soapy water;
– do not use it when the screen is
dry;
– free it from the screen when it has
not been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace it as soon as
it begins to lose efficiency: approx-
imately once a year. Refer to the
"Wiper blades: replacement" para-
graph in Section 5.
Precaution for using the
wipers
– in freezing or snowy weather,
clear the screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor over-
heating);
– ensure that no objects are ob-
structing the travel of the blade.
