release the wiper blades from the windscreen.

position:

after switching off the ignition to position the
wiper blades vertically on the windscreen.
To return them to the park position:

To maintain the effectiveness of the wiper
blades, it is advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy water,
- avoid using them to retain cardboard on the
windscreen,
- replace them at the first signs of wear.
Fitting roof bars
When fitting transverse roof bars, take care to
position them correctly on the retaining pins
located in the door apertures.
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle, refer to local legislation.
