Blocked jets

If a washer jet becomes blocked, use a thin 
strand of wire to unblock the jet by inserting 
the wire into the jet. Ensure that the wire is 
completely removed after unblocking.

CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES

The wiping edge of the blades should be 
checked, and cleaned periodically. Check the 
blade rubber for cracks, splits, and roughness. 
If any damage, wear, or roughness is detected 
the blade should be replaced immediately to 
prevent damage to the glass.

Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft cloth 
or sponge, using warm soapy water.

CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES

Service position

The windscreen wiper service position allows 
the wipers to be parked in a more accessible 
position. This makes it easier to change wiper 
blades, or free the wipers from frost/ice.

WARNING

Do not operate the washer jets during 
adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid 

may cause irritation to the eyes and skin. 
Alway read and observe the washer fluid 
manufacturers instructions.

WARNING

Only use cleaning products which have 
been approved for use on automotive 

glass and rubber. Inappropriate products can 
cause smearing, and increase glare.

E80573

CAUTIONS

When checking or changing the wiper 
blades, they can be set to the service 

position, or parked normally.

The wipers will return to their normal 
parked position when the ignition is 

turned on. To prevent damage to the 
mechanism ensure that they are returned to 
their position against the windscreen, and that 
there are no obstructions, ice, or snow present 
on the windscreen.

CAUTION

If the wipers are set to the service 
position and left there overnight during 

frosty conditions, do not switch the ignition on 
until the wipers have been freed from frost/ice. 
The wipers will try to park when the ignition is 
switched on. If they are frozen to the screen 
when this occurs then this may cause damage 
to the mechanism.

Windows and mirrors

ELECTRIC WINDOWS

With the ignition on, or engine running, press 
the switch down to lower the window, pull it up 
to raise the window. Release the switch at any 
point to stop window movement.

The windows will operate for five minutes after 
the engine is switched off, as long as the doors 
are not opened.

One shot operation

All four windows have one-shot operation. 
Briefly pull the switch up and release, the 
window will continue to raise until fully closed. 
Briefly press the switch down and release, the 
window will continue to lower until fully open. 
Pressing or pulling the switch again will stop 
the window.

Overriding anti-trap protection

Anti-trap protection will stop window 
movement if an obstruction or resistance is 
detected. Check the window and it's aperture 
and remove any obstructions, ice, etc. If it is 
still necessary to raise the window, the override 
procedure is as follows :-

1. Attempt to close the window, anti-trap will 

prevent closure and lower the window 
slightly.

2. Within ten seconds attempt to raise the 

window again, anti-trap will prevent 
closure and lower the window slightly.

3. Attempt to close the window for a third 

time, this time hold the switch in the close 
position. The window will raise whilst the 
switch is held. Hold until closed.

Note: If this procedure fails to remove the 
blockage, the window operation may need to 
be reset.

WARNING

All of the windows have an anti-trap 
protection system. However, before 

closing a window care must be taken to ensure 
that none of the occupants have any part of 
their body in a position where it could be 
trapped. Even with an anti-trap system serious 
injury or death can occur.

E81161

WARNING

Ensure that you remove the remote 
control when leaving occupants in the 

vehicle. This will prevent unsupervised 
operation of the windows, which may result in 
injury.
