IMPORTANT
Before activating the wipers during winter -
ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen
in so that any snow or ice on the wind-
screen (and rear window) is scraped away.
IMPORTANT
Use plenty of washer fluid when the wipers
are cleaning the windscreen. The wind-
screen must be wet when the windscreen
wipers are operating.
Windscreen/headlamp washers
Move the stalk switch toward the steering
wheel to start the windscreen and headlamp
washers. The wipers will make several more
sweeps once the stalk switch is released.
High-pressure headlamp washing
(option in certain markets)
High-pressure headlamp washing consumes
a large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,
the headlamps are washed as follows:
Dipped beam selected with the switch on
lighting panel:
The headlamps are washed the first time the
windscreen is washed. Within the next ten
minutes, they are washed every fifth wash
cycle of the windscreen. In the event of a
longer interval the headlamps are washed
each time.
Parking/position lamps selected with the
switch on the lighting panel:
• Bi-Xenon headlamps are only washed
every fifth wash cycle irrespective of the
time that elapses.
• Halogen headlamps are not washed.
The switch on the lighting panel is in
position 0:
