other obstacles on the windscreen may
damage the wiper and the windscreen wip-
er motor.
If necessary, remove snow and ice from
●
the windscreen wipers before starting your
journey.
Carefully lift the frozen windscreen wip-
●
ers from the glass. SEAT recommends a de-
icer spray for this operation.
Do not switch on the windscreen wipers if
●
the windscreen is dry. Cleaning with the
windscreen wipers while dry can cause
damage.
In icy conditions, always check that the
●
wiper blades are not frozen to the glass be-
fore using the wipers. In cold weather, it
may help to leave the vehicle parked with
›››
the wipers in service position
Note
The windscreen and window wipers only
●
function when the ignition is switched on
and the bonnet or rear lid, respectively, are
closed.
The interval wipe speed varies according
●
to the vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle
is moving, the more often the windscreen is
cleaned.
The rear wiper is automatically switched
●
on when the windscreen wiper is on and the
car is in reverse gear.
Wiper functions
Windscreen wipers performance in differ-
ent situations
If the vehicle is stopped, the activated posi-
●
tion temporarily moves to the previous posi-
tion.
When wiping at intervals, the intervals vary
●
according to the speed. The higher the vehi-
cle speed the shorter the intervals.
Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obsta-
cles that are on the windscreen. The wiper
will stop moving if the obstacle blocks its
path. Remove the obstacle and switch the
wiper back on again.
