Headlamp cleaning system*

The headlamps are automatically cleaned
with a high-pressure water jet when, at the
same time,
the engine is running
the headlamps are switched on
the windshield wipers have wiped the
windshield with washer fluid for the
first time.
The headlamps are cleaned every tenth
time the windshield is washed with washer
fluid.
When you switch off the headlamps or the
ignition, the automatic function is reset
and will start counting the next time from
the beginning.
For information on filling up the washer
reservoir, see "Windshield washer system
