CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper
blade is not frozen to the glass before using
the wiper for the first time. If you switch on
the wiper when the wiper blade is frozen to
the glass, this could damage both the wiper
blade and the wiper motor.
Note

The rear window wiper will only work when
the ignition is switched on.
Depending on the version of the model,

when you engage reverse gear and with the
headlight wiper activated, this can start a
wipe.

Operation
Headlight washer*
The headlight washers clean the headlight
lenses.
The headlight washers are activated auto-
matically when the windscreen washer is
used and the window wiper lever is pulled to-
wards the steering wheel for at least 1.5 sec-
onds – provided the dipped beam headlights
or main beams are switched on. Clean off
stubborn dirt (insects, etc.) from the head-
lights at regular intervals, for instance when
filling the fuel tank.
Note
To ensure that the headlight washers work
●
properly in winter, keep the nozzle holders in
the bumper free of snow and remove any ice
with a de-icer spray.
●
To remove water, the windscreen wipers
will be activated from time to time, the head-
light washers will be activated every three cy-
cles.
Rear view mirrors
Interior mirror
It is dangerous to drive if you cannot see
clearly through the rear window.
Interior mirror with automatic anti-dazzle
function*
The anti-dazzle function is activated every
time the ignition is switched on.
When the anti-dazzle function is enabled, the
interior rear vision mirror will darken auto-
matically according to the amount of light it
receives. The anti-dazzle function is cancel-
led if reverse gear is engaged.
Note
The automatic anti-dazzle function will only
●
work properly if the sun blind* for the rear
window is retracted and there are no other
objects preventing light from reaching the in-
terior rear vision mirror.
If you have to stick any type of sticker on
●
the windscreen, do not do so in front of the
sensors. Doing so could prevent the anti-daz-
zle function from working well or even from
working at all.
Folding in the exterior mirrors man-
ually
The exterior mirrors of the vehicle may be fol-
ded in. For this, press the mirror housing to-
wards the vehicle.
