When switching the ignition back on, the
windscreen wiper will continue to operate at
the same wiping level. Ice, snow and other
obstacles on the windscreen may damage the
wiper and the windscreen wiper motor.
● If necessary, remove snow and ice from the
windscreen wipers before starting your jour-

Heated windscreen washer jets*
The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it
does not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
When the ignition is switched on the heated
windscreen washer jets automatically adjust
the heat depending on the ambient tempera-
ture.
The activated position provision-
ally changes to the previous posi-
tion.
The air conditioner comes on for
approximately 30 seconds in air
