Switch positions
5 and
6
lf
the lever
is
pulled towards
the
steering
wheel
to
the fifth
position,
the
windshield
washer pump
will
operate. When the lever
is
released,
the
wipers
will
complete
hvo
or
three
drying
strokes.
ln
the
sixth position
the
washer and
wipers
operate simultaneously.
Before using
the wipers
make
sure that
the
windshield
is
sufficiently
wet;
otherwise
it
could be scratched. Wiper blades should
be
checked regularly
and replaced at least
once
a yeat.
The
windshield washer nozzles
are
heated
when the ignition is
on.
Avoid
running the
wiper
blades over a dry
windshield to
prevent scratching the
glass.
Spray
on
washer
fluid lirst.
A
scratched
windshield
will
reduce
visibility.
Always loosen blades
frozen
to
glass
before operating wipers
to prevent
damage
to wiper
motor.
Headlight Washers
Switch position
7
When the
headlights
are
on
(full
or
dipped
beam),
the headlight washers operate
when
the
wiper/washer
switch
is
brielly
pressed
towards the
dashboard.
The
washer
pump
supplies
high-pressure
water
to
the spray
nozzles
in
front
of
the
headlights.
A
relay limits the spray duration; il
the
headlights
are very
dirty, the
washing
process must
be
repeated. Stubborn
dirt
(such as insect smears) should be
removed
f
requently.
Because
the system uses
a
lot of water,
a
tank with a
capacity
of
about
7.4 liters
is
in-
stalled
to
supply both the windshield washer
and
headlight washers.
lf
the
water
level
drops
to
about
2
lilers,
a
warning light in
the
small instrument cluster comes
on.
