Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen and around the wiper
arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers
on a dry
windscreen. In extremely hot or cold
weather, check that the wiper blades are not
stuck to the windscreen before operating the
wipers.
After
using an automatic car wash, you
may temporarily notice abnormal noises
and poorer wiping performance. You do not
need to replace the wiper blades.

In position 1 or

When the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h) again, the wiping frequency returns to the original frequency (fast or normal).
If the ignition is turned
off so that wipers were running, operate the lever again to turn the deletion
back on as soon as the ignition has been switched back on (unless the ignition
was removed within one minute).
Single wipe
Windscreen wash
A final wiping cycle is performed when screenwashing ends.
With automatic air
conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to
protect the passenger compartment from any
odour.
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.
