Warning!
Driving with worn windshield wiper blades is
a serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather conditions.
Note: The life of the windshield wiper
blades varies according to the usage
frequency. In any case, it is advised to
replace the blades approximately once a
year. When the blades are worn, noise,
marks on the glass or streaks of water
may be noticed. In the presence of these
conditions, clean the windshield wiper
blades or, if necessary, replace them.
Raising The Windshield Wiper Blades
("Service Position" Function)
The "service position" function allows the
driver to replace the windshield wiper
blades more easily. It is also
recommended to activate this function
when it is snowing and to make it easier
to remove any dirt deposits in the area
where the blades are normally
positioned, when washing.
Activation Of The Function
To activate this function, disable the
windshield wiper before setting the
ignition device to STOP.
This function can only be activated within
two minutes of cycling the ignition to
STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upward for at least three seconds.
Function Deactivation
The function is deactivated if:
More than two minutes passes before
cycling the ignition to the STOP position
after having raised the lever and putting
the wipers into service position.
The ignition is cycled to the ON
position and the windshield wiper control
is used.
If, after using the function, the ignition is
set back to ON with the blades in a
position other than rest position (at the
base of the windshield), they will only
return to rest position following a
command given using the stalk (stalk
upwards, into unstable position) or when
a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) is exceeded.
Replacing The Windshield Wiper Blades
Proceed as follows:
1. Raise the wiper arm, press tab of the
attachment spring and remove the blade
from the arm.
2. Fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the dedicated housing in the arm and
checking that it is locked.
3. Lower the wiper arm onto the
windshield.
Note: Do not operate the windshield
wiper with the blades lifted from the
windshield.
Windshield Washer
The window washer nozzles are fixed. If
there is no jet of fluid, first check that
there is fluid in the reservoir (see
paragraph “Engine Compartment” in this
chapter).
