Lighting and visibility
Automatic.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do
not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
In the event of accumulation of snow or
hard frost or if a bicycle carrier is fitted to
a towing system, deactivate the automatic
rear wiper via the touch screen’s Driving/
Vehicle menu.
Refer to the corresponding section.
If the ignition has been switched off with
the windscreen wiper active, it is
necessary to operate the control stalk to
reactivate the wiping when the ignition is
switched on (unless the ignition is off for less
than 1 minute).
Rear screenwash
► Turn the ring all the way towards the
dashboard and hold.
Rear wiper
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as
long as the ring remains turned.
A final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is
automatically reduced when the speed of
the vehicle drops below 3 mph (5 km/h).
When the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h)
again, the wiping frequency returns to the
original frequency (fast or normal).
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used for cleaning or
replacement of the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper
blades from the windscreen.

To maintain the effectiveness of the flat
wiper blades, it is advisable to:
– handle them with care.
The screenwash and windscreen wipers operate
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.
A final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
– clean them regularly using soapy water.
– avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
Reverse gear
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the front
windscreen wipers are operating.
This function is set via the
Driving / Vehicle touch screen
menu.
– replace them at the first signs of wear.
With automatic air conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to avoid
odours inside the passenger compartment.
