Notes
! Do not operate the wipers when the
windshield/rear window is dry. Dust that
accumulates on a windshield/rear window
might scratch the glass and/or damage the
wiper blades when wiping occurs on a dry
windshield/rear window. If it is necessary
to operate the wipers in dry weather
conditions, always operate the wipers with
washer fluid.
! If the windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the car has been driven
through an automatic car wash, then wax
or other residue is on the windshield.
Shortly after washing the car in an
automatic car wash, clean the windshield
with washer fluid.

Intermittent wiping

Only switch on intermittent wiping under wet
weather conditions or in the presence of
precipitation.
! Vehicles with rain sensor: Do not leave
windshield wipers on an intermittent
setting when the vehicle is taken to an
automatic car wash or during windshield
cleaning. Windshield wipers will operate in
the presence of water sprayed on the
windshield, and windshield wipers may be
damaged as a result.
