CAUTION
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
■
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!
Carefully peel frozen wiper blades off the pane.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to
■
the windscreen.
Do not switch on the ignition if the front wiper arms are retracted. The wiper
■
arms could damage the paint of the bonnet.
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
■
obstacle. The wiper stops automatically after 5 attempts to eliminate the ob-
stacle, in order to avoid a damage to the wiper. Remove the obstacle and
switch the wiper on again.
Note
Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
■
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rub-
bers.
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.
