Using windscreen and headlamp
washers
Windscreen and headlamp washers are
designed to clean the windscreen and head-
lamps. Windscreen and headlamp washers
are started using the right-hand stalk switch.
Starting windscreen and headlamp
washers
Washing function, right-hand stalk switch.
Move the right-hand stalk switch toward
–
the steering wheel to start the windscreen
and headlamp washers.
> The windscreen wipers will make sev-
eral more sweeps once the stalk switch
has been released.
IMPORTANT
Avoid activating the washer system when
it is frozen or the washer reservoir is
empty, otherwise there is a risk of damag-
ing the pump.
Headlamp washing*
To save fluid, the headlamps are washed auto-
matically at a defined interval when the head-
lamps are switched on.
Reduced washing
If only approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid
remains in the reservoir and the message
Washer fluid Level low, refill
the symbol, is shown in the driver dis-
play, then the supply of washer fluid to the
headlamps is switched off. This is to prioritise
cleaning the windscreen and the visibility
through it. The headlamps are only washed if
main or dipped beam is switched on.
