Always wear your seat belt when tra­velling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the parti­cular country you are in.
SEAT BELTS (1/3)
Make sure that the rear seats are locked in position properly so that the rear seat belts will operate effi­ciently. Refer to the information on “rear seat functions” and “adjusting the rear seats” in Section 3.
Seat belts which are incor­rectly adjusted or twisted may cause injuries in the event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen, but do not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your dri­ving position, then ask all occupants to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket). This is essential to ensure your back is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to depress the clutch pedal fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head-
rest. For maximum safety, your head
must be as close as possible to the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, ie.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or kee­ping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 3 locks into catch 5 (check that it is locked by pul­ling on buckle 3). If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again. If your seat belt is completely jammed, pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again. If there is still a problem, contact an ap­proved dealer.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally
fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their mountings. For special op­erations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back. – Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or
child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
– The belt should never be twisted. – Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary.
Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch. – Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as
they could prevent it from being properly secured.
– When refitting the rear seats, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned
so that they can be used correctly.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden
away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, they are composed of:
– seat belt inertia reel pretension-
ers;
– central seat belt pretensioners;
– chest-level load limiter;
– air bags for driver and front pas-
senger.
These systems are designed to act in­dependently or together when the vehi­cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking; – the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt slack);
– the lap belt pretensioners to hold the
occupant in his seat;
– the front airbag.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body, holding the occupant more securely against the seat, thus in­creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
In the event of a severe frontal impact and if the ignition is switched on, the system may engage the following de­pending on the force of the impact:
– the seat belt inertia reel preten-
sioner 1 which instantly retracts the seat belt;
– the lap pretensioner 2 on the front
seats.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following an accident.
– No operation whatso­ever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, air bags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause injury, only qualified personnel from an approved Dealer may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved Dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.

Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.
airbags for driver and passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side. The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the steering wheel and dashboard (air bag zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, a symbol on the lower section of the windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of: – an air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator electrical trigger system;
– remote sensors;
– a single warning light
å on the
instrument panel.
A
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an air bag is required, it will inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, su­perficial grazing to the skin or other problems.
Page 35
1.29
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver’s head and chest against the steering wheel and of the front pas­senger against the dashboard. The air bags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hin­dered from leaving the vehicle.
Operating faults
å This warning light comes on
when the engine is started and then goes out after approximately three sec­onds.
If it does not come on when the ignition is switched on or if it stays on, there is a fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible.
Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances. – Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss. – The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network). – Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting
your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and to be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag. – Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.). – The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained.
In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.)
– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure
the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS
THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following an accident.
– No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (air bags, electronic con­trol units, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if iden­tical.
– Only qualified personnel from
our Network may work on the air bags; otherwise the system may trigger accidentally and cause injury.
Page 38
1.32
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Warning concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
Side air bags
These air bags are fitted to the front seats and are activated at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the oc­cupants in the event of a severe side impact.
Curtain air bags
These are airbags fitted along the sides of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger along the front and rear door side win­dows to protect the passengers in case of a severe side impact.
Depending on the vehicle, a mark­ing on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.
Page 39
1.33
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the oc­cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor su­perficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer,
wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified Network personnel.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,
only qualified Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or
broken into. – When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle. – When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when it inflates.

STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
Power-assisted steering
Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power assisted steering system is equipped with an electronic control system which alters the level of assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking manoeuvres (for added comfort) while the force needed to steer increases progressively as the speed rises (for enhanced safety at high speeds).
Stop and Start feature
With the engine on standby, power-as­sisted steering is no longer operational. It returns to its original state when the engine is restarted or when the speed moves above 1 mph or 1 km/h (hill, slope, etc.).
Adjusting the steering wheel height and depth
Lower the lever 1 and position the steering wheel in the required position.
Then, raise the lever fully, beyond the point of resistance to lock the steering wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is station­ary.
Never leave the steering wheel at full lock while stationary.
Do not switch off the engine when driving downhill and, as a general rule, when
driving (the power-assisted steering and brake cannot operate normally).
With the engine switched off, or if there is a system fault, it is still pos­sible to turn the steering wheel. The force required will be greater.

Engine on standby - power­assisted steering is no longer operational.
NB: power-assisted steering depends on the mode selected in the “Multi­Sense” menu (please refer to the infor­mation in “Multi-Sense” in Section 3).

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehi­cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet fin­ished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as fall­ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allow­ing him or her to play on a fourth­floor balcony without railings. Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt. If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being opened, use the “Child safety” device (refer to the information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-suffi­cient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the tempera­ture inside the passenger compart­ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)
Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to re­strain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap­proved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.
Set a good example by always fas­tening your seat belt and teaching your child: – to strap themselves in correctly; – to always get in and out of the car
at the kerb, away from busy traf­fic.
Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.
Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unat­tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is
always strapped in and that the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, espe­cially if asleep.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seats
A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this po­sition for as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck. Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child’s head is higher than the shell.
Forward-facing child seats
The child’s head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward-fac­ing child seat which is firmly attached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness for as long as their size permits. Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.
Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his/her size and shape. The boos­ter seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child’s thighs rather than the stomach. It is recommended that you use a seat­back fitted with a belt strap guide which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm. Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.
Page 44
1.38
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/3)
There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.
The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the arm or behind the back. Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges. If the seat belt does not operate nor­mally, it will not protect the child. Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.
Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are re­spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor­rectly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.
Page 45
1.39
Attachment using the ISOFIX system
Approved child seats ISOFIX are stand­ardised in accordance with current reg­ulations if any of the four cases below applies:
– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-
facing seat; – ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat; – Specific; – i-Size Which has:
– either a belt which attaches to the
third ring of the seat concerned;
– or a stay that rests on the vehi-
cle floor, compatible with the ap­proved seat i-Size, the role of which is to prevent the child seat from moving in the event of a col­lision.
In the latter three cases check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.
No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (ISOFIX seat belts, seats
and their mountings) originally fitted.
Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you pur­chased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is authorised. Consult the list of ve­hicles which can be fitted with the seat from the equipment manufac­turer.
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (2/3)
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings and, in some cases, a third ring.
Page 46
1.40
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (3/3)
3
4
The third ring 3, 4 or 5 is used to attach the upper strap on some seats ISOFIX.
The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these anchorage points. Check that nothing is ob­structing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat.
Attachment using the ISOFIX system (continued)
The two rings 1 are located between the seatback and the seat base of the seat and are identified by a marking. To ensure your child seat can be easily fitted and locked on the rings 1, use access guides 2 on the child seat.
The rings are located on the rear seat­backs and indicated by the symbol
.
In all cases, attach the strap hook to the corresponding ring (3 and 5 for the rear side seats and 4 for the rear centre seat) and place the seat in the desired position.
Pull the belt so that the back of the child seat comes into contact with the back of the vehicle seat.
The child seat strap must be attached to the corre­sponding ring.
Do not use any other
mounting point.

Check that the seatback of the forward-facing child seat is in contact with the
seatback of the vehicle seat. In this case, the child seat may not always rest on the seat base of the vehicle seat.
Page 47
1.41
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (1/2)
The types of child seat indicated may not be available. Before using a differ­ent child seat, check with the manufac­turer that it can be fitted.
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel­ling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised): – lower the seat belt as far as possible; – move the seat as far back as possi-
ble;
– gently tilt the seatback away from
vertical (approximately 25°);
– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat
base as far as possible.
In all situations, reinsert the headrest to its full extent so that it does not interfere with the child seat (see the information on “Front headrests” in Section 1);
Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the follow­ing page shows you how to attach a child seat.
Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.
Make sure that the child
seat or the child’s feet do not prevent the front seat from lock­ing correctly. Refer to the informa­tion on the “Front seat” in Section 1.
Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.
If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before
fitting a rear-facing child
seat to this seat, check that the air bag has been deacti­vated (refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activat­ing the front passenger air bag” in Section 1).
After installing the child seat, if neces­sary, the seat may be advanced (so as to leave enough space in the rear seats for passengers or other child seats). For a rear-facing child seat, do not let it touch the dashboard or move it to the furthest forward position.
Do not change other settings after in­stalling the child seat.
Page 48
1.42
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (2/2)
In the rear seat
A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go, although without al­lowing it to come into contact with the child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for­ward-facing position: – move the relevant seat backwards
as far as possible;
– move the seat in front of the child
forwards, and set the position of the seatback to avoid contact between the seat and the child’s legs.
Always remove the headrest from the rear seat used for the child seat (see “Rear headrests” in Section 3). If nec­essary, position the vehicle seat as far back as possible. This must be done before fitting the child seat. Check that the child seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat.
Ensure that the child seat or the child’s feet do not prevent the front seat from
locking correctly. Refer to the information on the “Front seat” in Section 1 or “Rear seat operation” in Section 3.
The floor of your vehicle has storage spaces. Before installing a child seat with
a floor support, ensure that this seat can be correctly installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles supplied with the child seat.
Risk of serious injury in the event of sudden braking or accident.
When fitting a child seat
(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),
check that the seat belts op-
erate (wind) correctly: refer to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If necessary, adjust the position of the vehicle seat.
For 7-seater vehicles, a child seat with a stay should never be installed on the third row rear seats.
For 7-seater vehicles, the second row rear seats must be pushed forward before a child is seated in the third row rear seats.

Interpreting some of the values displayed after resetting
The values showing average fuel con­sumption and average speed will become more stable and reliable the further you have travelled since the last time the Reset button was pressed.
The average fuel consumption may de­crease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating; – the engine reaches its operating
temperature (if the engine was cold
when the reset key was pressed); – when driving from an urban area
onto the open road.
Automatic resetting of the journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when the maximum value of any of the pa­rameters is exceeded.

Check the condition of the wiper blades. You are responsible for their service life:
– they must remain clean: clean
the blades, windscreen and rear screen regularly with soapy water;
– do not use them when the winds-
creen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon as they begin to lose efficiency: ap­proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check that no object obstructs the travel of the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or close the tailgate.

When activating automatic wiping or when increasing sensitivity, one sweep of the blades is performed.
Note: – the rain sensor is only intended as a
driving aid. In the event of reduced visibility, the driver should manually activate the wipers. In foggy weather or during snowfalls, wiping is not au­tomatically triggered and remains under the driver’s control;
– in the event of temperatures below
zero, automatic wiping is not activa­ted when the vehicle is started. It is automatically activated as soon as the vehicle exceeds a certain speed (approximately 5 mph (8 km/h));
– do not activate automatic wiping in

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the automatic wiping, the wiper is set to intermittent wiping. Contact an au­thorised dealer. The operation of the rain sensor can be disturbed in the event of: – damaged wiper blades; a screen
of water or traces left by a blade in the sensor’s detection zone may increase the response time of the automatic wiper, or increase the wiping frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or
crack level with the sensor, or a windscreen covered in dust, dirt, insects, ice, the use of washing wax and water-repellent chemi­cals; the automatic wiping will be less sensitive, or even unres­ponsive.
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (3/6)
Special note When driving the vehicle, 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 originally selected. If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and cancels the automatic function.
Precautions
– In the event of ice, check whether the
blades are stuck to the windscreen before operating the wiping mecha­nism. If you activate the wipers while the blades are stuck down with ice, you may risk damaging both the blade and the wiper motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the prema­ture wear or damage to the blades.

Before any action involving the windscreen (washing the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen, etc.) return stalk 1 to position B (stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
In the event of obstacles present on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice, etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu­ding the central area located behind the interior rear-view mirror) and the rear screen before starting the wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade from moving, it may stop functio­ning. Remove the obstacle and reactivate the wiper using the wiper stalk.
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (4/6)
Note:
Once the wipers have been switched off, at least 1 minute after locking the vehicle, it is possible to manually move the blades. Do not force the blade arms to move. This may risk damage to the wiper motor, the arms and the blades.
After your intervention, to reposition the blades correctly, make sure the blades are resting on the windscreen, switch on the ignition and activate the wiper control.
The blade on the driver’s side must always be above the passenger blade. If this is not the case, a quick sweep of the windscreen wipers should be per­formed once the vehicle is travelling at over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Specific front wiper position (service position)
This position enables the blades to be lifted to remove them from the winds­creen.
This can be useful: – to clean the blades; – to release the blades from the winds-
creen in winter;
– to replace the blades (please refer
to the information on the “Wiper blades” in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off, lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully (fast continuous wipe position). The wiper arms stop in a position away from the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make sure they have been placed on the windscreen, then move the stalk to po­sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition, place the wipers on the windscreen. Otherwise, there may a risk of damage to the bonnet or the wipers when they are switched on.
