Vehicles with rain and light sensor: if the
Ä or Å setting is used, an appropriate
wipe frequency is set according to rainfall. In
the Å position, the rain and light sensor is
more sensitive than in the Ä position,
causing the windscreen wipers to wipe more
frequently. If the rain and light sensor fails,
the wiper automatically switches to the wip-
ing interval corresponding to the position of
the switch.

Notes on winter driving
Headlamps
! If the plastic lenses or headlamps ice up in
winter, do not remove the ice layer with an
ice scraper. You could otherwise scratch
the plastic covers. Only use de-icer spray
that is suitable for plastic surfaces.
Windscreen washer system
At temperatures of approximately 5 † to
Ò5 † with snowfall, direct the air to the wind-
screen using the z air-distribution control
(

page 129). You can also switch on wind-
screen heating (

tings, the wiper blades on the front wind-
screen are heated. In this way you can pre-
vent smearing or the snow freezing on the
wiper blade.
