WARNING
● Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibil-
ity and safe driving ⇒ p age 35.
● Do not use the windshield washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windshield beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windshield and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
● In cold temperatures and in winter, check before the trip or before switching
on the ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen. Switching on windshield wip-
ers when the blades are frozen to the windshield may result in damage both to
the blades and the motor of the windshield wipers!
● If you switch off the ignition while the windscreen wipers are switched on, the
windscreen wipers will continue wiping in the same mode after you turn the igni-
tion back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold temperatures be-
tween the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned back on again.
● Carefully detach frozen wiper blades from the front or rear window.
● Remove snow and ice from the window wipers before driving.
Note
● The windshield wipers and the windshield washer system only operate if the
ignition is switched on.
● Periodic wiping is dependent on the driving speed. The faster the driver is go-
ing, the more frequent the wiper action.
● If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the wiper is blocked by an obstruction, the wiper will remain station-
ary. Remove the obstacle and and switch on the wiper again.
● The rear window will be wiped again if the window wipers are on when re-
verse gear is selected.
● The capacity of the windscreen washer fluid reservoir is approximately 3 litres.
