Peugeot 2008: Lighting and visibility / Changing a wiper blade
Removing/refitting at the front
- Carry out these wiper blade replacement operations from the driver's
side.
- Starting with the wiper blade farthest from you, hold each arm by the
rigid section and raise it as far as possible.
Do not touch the wiper
blades - risk of irreversible distortion.
Do not release them while they are moving - risk of damaging the
windscreen!
- Clean the windscreen using screenwash fluid.
Do not apply "Rain X" type
water-repellent products.
- Unclip the worn wiper blade closest to you and remove it.
- Install the new wiper blade and clip it to the arm.
- Repeat the procedure for the other wiper blade.
- Starting with the wiper blade closest to you, once again hold each arm
by the rigid section and lower it carefully to the windscreen.
Removing/refitting at the rear
- Hold the arm by the rigid section and raise it as far as possible.
- Clean the rear screen using screenwash fluid.
- Unclip the worn wiper blade and remove it.
- Install the new wiper blade and clip it to the arm.
- Once again hold the arm by the rigid section, then guide it carefully
onto the rear screen.
Before operating the
wipers in wintry conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost from the windscreen,
and from around the wiper arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers
on a dry windscreen...
In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers operate automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. If rain is detected, the wiping adapts to the
intensity of the rainfall automatically...
Other information:
(Depending on version.)
On versions fitted with an electric gauge, the engine oil level status is
displayed on the instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, after the servicing information.
The level read will only
be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes...
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring
aids.
This system includes sensors, placed on the sides of the bumpers, and warns
the driver of the potentially dangerous presence of another vehicle (car, truck,
motorcycle) in the blind spot areas of their vehicle (areas hidden from the
driver's field of vision)...
