WARNING
•
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for
clear visibility and safe driving ⇒ page 65.
•
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures,
without heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window
cleaner could freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the
front.
•
In the event of a freezing up of the windscreen, first of all elimi-
nate the ice ⇒ page 200 and then operate the windscreen wiper
otherwise the windscreen wiper blades could be damaged.
Caution
In frosty weather, please first of all check whether the windscreen wiper
blades are not frozen to the windscreen before switching them on.
Switching on windscreen wipers when the blades are frozen to the wind-
screen may result in damage both to the blades and the motor of the wind-
screen wipers!
