Wipers & Washers

WIPER CONTROLS

The wipers and washers will only operate when the starter switch

is turned to position ‘II’.

Rotate the end of the lever to select different wiper speeds

1. Intermittent wipe

2. Normal speed wipe

3. Fast speed wipe

NOTE: If reverse gear is selected while the front wipers are operating (at

any speed setting), the rear screen wiper will operate automatically for three

wipes.

Single wipe

Pull the lever down and release immediately.

NOTE: With the lever held down, the wipers will operate at high speed

until it is released.

Windscreen washer

Pull the lever towards the steering wheel. The windscreen washers

will operate for as long as the lever is held in this position.

NOTE: The wipers operate automatically during windscreen washing.

On cars fitted with heated windscreen washer jets, the heater

prevents the jets from being rendered inoperative by freezing, but

does not prevent the water from freezing on the screen; therefore,

a suitable screenwash must still be added to the washer reservoir

(see ‘WINDSCREEN WASHER TOP-UP’, page 143).

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT operate the wipers on a dry screen.

• In freezing or very hot conditions, ensure that the blades are not

frozen or stuck to the glass before being operated.

• In winter, remove snow or ice from around the arms and

blades, including the wiped area of the screen.
