Windscreen wipers and washers

Introduction
The windshield wipers and the windshield washer system only operate if the
ignition is switched on.
WARNING
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.

off the windscreen

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 separate frozen windscreen wiper blades from the windscreen and
free from snow and ice.
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is a risk of damage to the
windscreen by the windscreen wiper arms.
Do not switch on the ignition when the wiper arm is raised from the wind-
screen - there is a risk of damage to the bonnet by the wiper arms.
Note
Depending on vehicle equipment, the windscreen washer jets can be heated
automatically after starting the engine.
