reduce the effectiveness of the rain sensor or
make it react more slowly, later or not at all.
Windscreen crack: the impact of a stone
●
will trigger a single wipe cycle with the rain
sensor on. Next the rain sensor detects the re-
duction in the sensitive surface area and
adapts accordingly. The behaviour of the
sensor will vary with the size of the damage
caused by the stone.
WARNING
The rain sensor may not detect enough rain
to switch on the wipers.
If necessary, switch on the wipers man-
●
ually when water on the windscreen ob-
structs visibility.
Note
Clean the sensitive surface of the rain
●
sensor regularly and check the blades for

damage Fig. 149 (arrow).
To remove wax and coatings, we recom-

mend a window cleaner containing alco-
hol.

Rear vision mirror
Introduction
WARNING
The automatic anti-dazzle rear vision mir-
ror contains an electrolytic fluid which may
leak if the mirror is broken. This could cause
irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory
organs.
The electrolytic fluid may cause irritation
●
to the skin, eyes and respiratory organs,
particularly in individuals suffering from
asthma or other illnesses. Make sure that
adequate quantities of fresh air enter and
leave the vehicle if it is not possible to open
all the doors and windows.
If the electrolytic fluid comes into con-
●
tact with eyes or skin, wash the area for at
least 15 minutes with plenty of water, and
seek medical advice.
If the electrolytic fluid comes into con-
●
tact with shoes or clothing, wash the area
for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water.
Wash shoes and clothing before wearing
them again.
If the electrolytic fluid is swallowed, wash
●
your mouth with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes. Do not try to provoke vomiting
unless recommended by a Doctor. Seek
medical advice immediately.
CAUTION
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
rear vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte flu-
id may leak. This liquid attacks plastic sur-
faces. Therefore, it should be cleaned as
fast as possible with a damp sponge or
similar.
