washers
Washing function, right-hand steering wheel lever.
Move the right-hand steering wheel lever
–
toward the steering wheel to start the
windshield and headlight washers.
> After the lever is released, the wipers
make several extra sweeps.
CAUTION
Avoid activating the washer system when
it is frozen or the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the
pump.
Headlight washer*
To save washer fluid, the headlights are
washed automatically according to a defined
interval when the headlights are on.
Reduced washing
When there is about 1 liter (1 qt) of washer
fluid left in the reservoir and the
Level low, refill message is displayed in the
instrument panel together with the
bol, the washer fluid supply to the headlights
is cut off. This is to prioritize windshield clean-
ing and visibility through it. The headlights are
only washed if high or low beam is on.
