Automatic Windscreen Wipers - PEUGEOT 3008 2017 Handbook

Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position is used for cleaning or
replacement of the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter, to release the wiper blades
from the windscreen.
F In the minute following ignition switch-off,
any operation of the wiper control stalk will
position the wiper blades vertically.
F To park the wiper blades again, switch on
the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wiper
blades, it is advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy
water,
- avoid using them to retain cardboard
on the windscreen,
- replace them at the first signs of wear.
Automatic windscreen
wipers
