In freezing or near freezing conditions:
•
Always check that the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass
before you turn the wipers on. Loosen a wiper blade which is frozen
in place before operating the wipers to prevent damage to the wiper
blade or the wiper motor .
•
Do not use the wipers to clear a frosted window. Using the
wipers as a convenient ice scraper will destroy the wiper blades.
•
Before you take your vehicle to an automatic car wash, make sure
you have the windshield wiper system switched off (lever in position
Ol, otherwise the windshield wiper system could get damaged in the
car wash if it should suddenly come on.

Tips
•
Make sure the washer fluid reservoir is topped off before go ing
on a long trip. Look up => page 206for checking and filling the
washer container.
•
Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades cause smearing, which
can affect the operation of the light/rain sensor*. Check the condi -
tion of your windshield wiper blades regularly.
•
If you switch off the ignition with the windshield wiper lever still
in the interval wipe position and then come back a while later and
drive off, the rain sensor will reactivate itself after the vehicle speed
has exceeded 4 mph (6 km/h).
•
Applies to vehicles with light/rain sensor : When the wipers are
switched on manually and in rain conditions, the automatic head -
lights* turn on => page 55, "Sensor activated head and tai l light
control"or off during the day when the wipers are no longer oper -
ating . The automatic headlights* function is availab le in th is case
only when the light switch is in the "AUTO" position => page 55,
