WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
This can be useful:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds-
creen in winter;
– replace the blades ➥ 5.38.
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lift the stalk 1 twice to position A (single
sweep). The blades stop slightly away
from the bonnet.
To return the blades to the lowered po-
sition, with the ignition on, ensure that
the wipers have folded down onto the
windscreen, then move the stalk 1 to
position 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.
