CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated
when washing the car in an automatic car
wash, etc. If the rain sensor function is left
on, the wipers will start inadvertently in the
car wash and could be damaged.
Windshield washing
Washing function
Move the lever toward the steering
wheel to start the windshield and head-
light washers. After the lever is released the
wipers make several extra sweeps.
Heated washer nozzles (option)
The washer nozzles are heated automatically
in cold weather to help prevent the washer
fluid from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing
(option)
High-pressure headlight washing consumes
a large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,
the headlights are washed using two alterna-
tives:
• Low/high beam headlights on
The headlights will be washed the first
time the windshield is washed. Thereafter,
the headlights will only be washed once
for every five times the windshield is
washed within a 10-minute period.
• Parking lights on
Optional Active Bi-Xenon headlights will
be washed once for every five times the
windshield is washed.
Normal halogen headlights will not be
washed.
CAUTION
Use ample washer fluid when washing the
windshield. The windshield should be thor-
oughly wet when the wipers are in opera-
tion.
NOTE
One headlight is washed at a time.
