The switch for the Elysee wipers is located on the right combination switch of the steering wheel. Pushing it upwards turns them on. Here are some details about the new Elysee: 1. Exterior Design: The exterior design of the new Elysee combines French elegance and stability with modern fashion and dynamism, catering to the aesthetic preferences of most people. With the joint efforts of 30 designers from 12 countries and over 500 engineers, Citroën created 18 clay models for the new Elysee, resulting in its grand and smooth aerodynamic aesthetic design. 2. Interior: The new Elysee features a fresh design, with the "Elegant Gray" interior tone complemented by a mix of light and dark shades, creating a simple, fresh, and elegant overall style. The dashboard is designed to favor the driver, providing a better experience.

When I first bought my Citroen Elysee, I really didn't know how to operate the windshield wipers. Later I figured out that the stalk on the right side of the steering wheel controls them. When it rains, gently pulling it downward makes the wipers swipe intermittently; pulling it further to the second position enables continuous slow wiping; pulling it all the way down activates continuous fast wiping to adapt to different rainfall intensities. To clean the windshield, just push the lever upward slightly - it'll spray washer fluid and wipe once, which helps remove stains. I think beginners should practice a few times on clear days to avoid panicking and having blurred vision during rainy conditions. Wiper blades degrade over time - if they leave streaks after wiping, I immediately replace them or check for oil film on the glass, regularly using washer fluid helps. Never neglect routine maintenance to prevent malfunctions at critical moments.

I've been driving this Elysee for several years and have long been accustomed to the wiper operations. On the right-hand side of the steering wheel, pulling the lever down to the first position activates intermittent wiping; pulling it further down to the second position switches to slow wiping; pulling it all the way down to the third position engages fast wiping. Pushing it upwards sprays water. During rainy days, selecting the appropriate wiper speed based on the rain intensity is quite convenient. I've noticed that when the wiper blades age, they make a particularly loud noise, which is a sign to check if the rubber strips are cracked. Replacing them yourself is super easy and cost-effective. Don't forget to regularly top up the washer fluid reservoir; otherwise, dry wiping can damage the wipers. In city traffic jams, maintaining a clear view can prevent rear-end collisions, especially during dusk with light rain when it's essential to turn on the wipers promptly. I always remind beginners to turn off the wipers before shutting off the engine to avoid circuit overload and potential damage during startup. Using the slow speed more often in daily driving helps extend their lifespan.

On my way to pick up and drop off the kids at school, I often encounter rain. When driving my Citroën Elysée, operating the wipers is effortless. Just pull down the right-hand stalk on the steering wheel and release for intermittent operation; pull deeper for faster wiping, and push up to spray and clean. The design is super simple and hassle-free. In heavy rain, I use the fast-wipe mode to maintain clarity; in light rain, I opt for slow wiping to save wear on the parts. To ensure a clean, streak-free view, I frequently clean the windshield to remove grease or check the wiper blades for wear and replace them promptly. Safety comes first, so I always keep a bottle of windshield washer fluid in my car to handle unexpected rain.

What does automotive PCU control mean?

PCU stands for Power Control Unit. It is the control unit that manages the electric motors used for power generation and driving during the startup, acceleration, and deceleration of hybrid and electric vehicles. It performs functions such as "motor drive control" during hybrid/electric vehicle startup, "energy regeneration control" during deceleration, "power generation control" during charging, and "VCU control" during system voltage fluctuations. Below are its key features: 1. High output power and compact size enhance mounting flexibility, enabling more versatile interior cabin design. 2. The VCU (Voltage Control Unit) can boost motor drive voltage to 700V, achieving higher system-wide power efficiency while reducing costs. 3. Vibration damping and resistance designs allow direct connection with transmissions, reducing component count.
