Note
● When the vehicle stops while the wiper is
on, the wiper switches to operating tempora-
rily at the next lower wiping level.
● If the driver's or passenger door is opened
when the vehicle is stationary, the wipers re-
turn to the starting position and are switched
off. If the door is closed or the wiper lever is
moved within a few seconds, the wiper turns
on again.

the wiper is switched on and reverse gear is en-
gaged. The automatic rear window wiper acti-
vation when engaging reverse gear can be acti-
vated and deactivated in the infotainment sys-

imately 5 seconds after the windscreen
washer has been activated, provided the ve-
hicle is moving ("drip" function). If you acti-

the "drip" function, a new wash sequence will
Windscreen wiper and rear window wiper systems
begin without performing the last wipe. For
the "drip" function to work again, you have to

that are on the windscreen. The wiper will
stop moving if the obstacle is still blocking its
path. Remove the obstacle and switch on the
wiper again.
