Safety notes
WARNING
If the wipers start moving when they are
folded away from the windscreen, parts of
the body may become trapped or the vehi-
cle may be damaged. There is a danger of
injury or damage to property. Make sure
that the vehicle is switched off when the
wipers are folded away from the wind-
screen, and that the wipers are in contact
with the windscreen when switching on.

If the wipers are frozen to the windscreen,
switching them on may cause the wiper
blades to tear off and the wiper motor to
overheat. There is a danger of damage to
property. Defrost the windscreen before
switching on the wipers.

ers come to a standstill in a nearly verti-
