Windscreen wipers
Switching the windscreen wipers
on/off
! Do not operate the windscreen wipers
when the windscreen is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windscreen can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when
the windscreen is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the wind-
screen wipers in dry weather conditions,
always operate them using washer fluid.
! If the windscreen wipers leave smears on
the windscreen after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may
be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windscreen with washer fluid after an auto-
matic car wash.
! Switch off the windscreen wipers before
you stop the engine. Otherwise, undesired
wiper sweeps could occur when starting
the next journey. This may damage the
wiper blades or windscreen, especially if
the windscreen is dirty or iced up.
The windscreen will no longer be wiped prop-
erly if the wiper blades are worn. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions.

Lateral end position of the windscreen
wipers
Depending on your requirements, you have
the option of putting the windscreen wipers in
a lateral position. This further improves your
field of vision. You should also use this setting
in cold weather conditions. This reduces the
risk of the wiper blades freezing to the wind-
screen. This also makes it easier to move the
wiper blades if they do freeze.
