Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction occurs, the
wipers will operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked
with the brightness sensor and located
in the centre of the windscreen behind
the rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic wiping when
using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic wiping.
Vertical windscreen wiper
position
This position allows the wiper blades to be lifted
for winter parking, cleaning or replacement
without damaging the bonnet.
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the wiper stalk positions
the wipers vertically.
To park the wipers after this has been done,
switch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.

Visibility
To retain the effectiveness of the "flat-
blade" wiper blades, it is advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy
water,
- not use them to hold a sheet of
cardboard against the windscreen,
- replace them at the first signs of
wear.
