Windscreen wiper

With the ignition on, move stalk 1 paral-

lel to the steering wheel:

A Park

B Intermittent wiping

The wipers will pause for several

seconds between sweeps. It is

possible to change the time be-

tween sweeps by turning ring 2.

C Normal wiping speed

D Fast wiping speed

FRONT WINDSCREEN WASHER, WIPER

(1/2)

Special note
When the vehicle is being driven, the

wiping speed slows down whenever

the vehicle stops. For example, fast

wiping speed will slow to normal wiping

speed. As soon as the vehicle moves

off, wiping will return to the speed origi-

nally selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and

cancels the automatic function.

If for any reason the wipers are

jammed (e.g. frozen to windscreen

by ice etc.), the system will auto-

matically cut the power supply to

the wipers.

screen washer.

FRONT WINDSCREEN WASHER, WIPER

(2/2)

Before any action on the

windscreen (washing the

vehicle, de-icing, cleaning

the windscreen, etc.) return

stalk 1 to position A (off).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure

they are not stuck to the windscreen

(including the central area located

behind the interior rear-view mirror)

before starting the wipers (risk of

motor overheating).

Efficiency of a wiper blade

blades. How long they last depends

on you:
– it must remain clean: clean the

blade and the screen regularly

with soapy water;

– do not use it when the screen is

dry;

– free it from the screen when it has

not been used for a long time.

Replace wiper blades as soon as

their performance starts to diminish:

Approximately every year (refer to

the information on “Wiper blades” in

section 5).

Precautions for using the

wipers

– In freezing or snowy weather,

clear the screen before starting

the wipers (risk of motor over-

heating);

– ensure that no objects are ob-

structing the travel of the blade.

structing the travel of the blade.

Before any action involving

the rear screen (washing

the vehicle, de-icing, clean-

ing etc.) return stalk 1 to the

Useful capacity of fuel tank: 13 litres

approx.
To open the fuel filler flap, place your

finger into recess C.
Use the ignition key to open cap B.

ADDITIONAL HEATING TANK

Fuel grade

Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each

country and which must conform to

the specifications given on the label on

cover A.
Fuel odours and smoke may be present

after a long period without using the ad-

ditional heating.

Fuel filler cap: this is of a

special type.
If you have to replace it,

make sure it is identical

to the original cap. Contact an ap-

proved Dealer.

Never place the cap near a source

of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a

high-pressure washer.

Fuel filling

– Insert the nozzle so that the valve

is open and fully insert the nozzle

before engaging it in order to fill the

tank (risk of splash-back).

– Keep the nozzle in this position

throughout the entire filling opera-

tion.

When the pump cuts out automatically

at the end of the filling procedure, a

maximum of two further filling attempts

may be made so as to leave sufficient

room for expansion.

Persistent smell of

fuel

If you notice a persistent

smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off

the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers

to leave the vehicle and to keep

away from traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

Do not operate the addi-

tional heating when the ve-

hicle fuel tank is being filled.
