Introduction
The windscreen wipers and the windscreen washer system only operate if the
ignition is switched on.
WARNING
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.

CAUTION
If the windscreen wipers are in the switched-off position, they cannot be
■
raised off the windscreen. Before collapsing the wipers, the wipers must be
set to the service position » page
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
■
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage the blades and windscreen wiper motor!
Carefully separate frozen windscreen wiper blades from the windscreen and
■
free from snow and ice.
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is a risk of damage to the
■
windscreen by the windscreen wiper arms.
Do not switch on the ignition when the wiper arm is raised from the wind-
■
screen - there is a risk of damage to the bonnet by the wiper arms.
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wipers will try to push away the
■
obstacle. The wipers then stop to prevent themselves from being damaged.
Only switch the wipers on again after the obstacle has been removed.
