Note
Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the wind-
■
screen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rubbers.
The rear window wiper only operates if the boot lid is closed.
■
Keep the wiper blades clean. They may become soiled, e.g., with wax residues
■
after washing in automatic car wash systems
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
■
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than approx. +10 °C.

Automatic wipe/wash for windscreen
The wash system operates immediately, the windscreen wipers wipe somewhat
later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper operate simultaneously at a
speed of more than 120 km/h.
Letting go of the lever will cause the windscreen wash system to stop and the
wiper to continue 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 func-
tion can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
Automatic wipe/wash for the rear window (Superb Combi)

Winter setting of the windscreen wiper
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from the
windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wipers in
winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
