Intermittent wiping is interrupted when the
vehicle is at a standstill and a door is opened.
This protects persons getting into or out of the
vehicle from being sprayed.
Intermittent wiping will be continued when
all doors are closed
and
the gear selector lever is in position D or R
or
the wiper setting is changed using the com-
bination switch.

Wiping with windshield washer fluid
Press the combination switch in direc-
tion of arrow 1 past the resistance

i
To prevent smears on the windshield, or

shield washer fluid every now and then even
when it is raining.
For information on filling up the washer
reservoir, see "Windshield washer system
and headlamp cleaning system*"
