separate operating instructions).
Replacing bulbs
The front and rear light clusters of your vehicle
are equipped with LED bulbs. Do not replace the
bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified specialist
workshop with the necessary specialist knowl-
edge and tools to carry out the work required.
The light clusters are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times. Have
the headlamp setting checked regularly.
Windscreen wipers
Switching the windscreen wipers on/
off
!
Do not operate the windscreen wipers when
the windscreen is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windscreen can scratch the
glass if wiping takes place when the wind-
screen is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windscreen
wipers in dry weather conditions, always
operate them using washer fluid.
!
If the windscreen wipers leave smears on
the windscreen after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may be
due to wax or other residue. Clean the wind-
screen with washer fluid after an automatic
car wash.
!
Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due to
optical influences and the windscreen becom-
ing dirty in dry weather conditions, the wind-
screen wipers may be activated inadvertently.
This could damage the windscreen wiper
blades or scratch the windscreen.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windscreen wipers in dry weather.

In the Ä or Å position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically according
to the intensity of the rain. In the Å position,
the rain sensor is more sensitive than in the
Ä position, causing the windscreen wiper to
wipe more frequently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windscreen will
no longer be wiped properly. This could mean
you are unable to observe the traffic conditions.
