The windscreen wipers and the windscreen washer system only operate if the igni-
tion is switched on.
The windscreen washer nozzles are heated* when the ignition is switched on.
The rain sensor* automatically regulates the break between the individual wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain.
Top up with wash liquid ⇒ page 197.
WARNING
•
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving ⇒ page 55.
•
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
•
The rain sensor only operates as a support. The driver is not released
from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers manu-
ally depending on the visibility conditions.
Caution
In frosty weather, please first of all check whether the windscreen wiper blades are
not frozen to the windscreen before switching them on. Switching on windscreen
wipers when the blades are frozen to the windscreen may result in damage both to
the blades and the motor of the windscreen wipers!
