Driving Tips
Fast wipe
– Position the lever up into position
Automatic wipe/wash for windscreen
– Pull the lever towards the steering wheel into sprung position
wash system sprays immediately, the windscreen wiper starts wiping
a little later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper operate
simultaneously at a speed of more than 120 km/h.
– Release the lever. The windscreen wash system stops and the wiper
continues for another 3 - 4 wiper strokes (depending on the period of
spraying of the windscreen). At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper
wipes once again* 5 seconds after the last wiper stroke in order to
wipe the last drops from the windscreen. This function can be acti-
vated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
Rain sensor*
– Move the lever into position
– You can set the sensitivity of the sensor individually with switch
Switching windscreen wipers off
– Move the lever back into its home position
After the windscreen wiper switches off each time or the ignition switches off for
the third time, the position of the windscreen wiper changes, this counteracts an
early fatigue of the wiper rubbers.
The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is switched
on and the bonnet is closed.
If the intermittent wipe is switched on, the intervals are also controlled depending
on speed.
The rain sensor* automatically regulates the break between the individual wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain.
The windscreen washer nozzles are heated* when the ignition is switched on.
