Tailgate wiper/washer
1 - Intermittent wiping
2 - Normal wiping
To operate the tailgate washer: Move the lever forward to start the tailgate washer. When less than
approximately 1 US qt (1 liter) of washer fluid remains in the reservoir, the tailgate window will not be
washed.
Tailgate wiper and reverse gear
If the front wipers are on and the car is put into reverse gear, then the tailgate wiper will go into
intermittent wiping function*.
If the tailgate wiper is already in normal wiping function, the normal wiping function will continue.
* Consult your Volvo retailer if you would like to have this function deactivated.
Water repellent glass - option
The sideview mirrors and side door windows can be treated with a water repellent coating. The optional
laminated side windows always have this coating. The coating improves vision by causing the water to
run off quickly. See page 149
CAUTION!
· Use only suitable plastic scrapers to remove ice or snow from the mirrors. Using a metal ice scraper
could damage the water repellent coating.
· Use the heating function to remove ice, snow, or mist from the mirrors.
