washer and headlight
washers
The windscreen wiper and washer
work only with the ignition key in the
MAR position.
Windscreen wipers
The lever has 5-settings:
A - Windscreen wiper stopped.
B - Automatic operation. In this
position the rain sensor's sensing
range can be adjusted (lever at
first click stop).
C - Slow continuous operation (lever
stopped on the second click).
D - Fast continuous operation (lever
stopped on the third click).
E - Fast temporary operation (non-
permanent position).
Windscreen washer
Pulling the lever towards the steering
wheel (non-permanent position)
activates the windscreen washer and
wiper.
When the windscreen washer is
activated, the windscreen wiper starts
automatically. Releasing the lever cuts
off the jet of fluid whilst the blades
continue to wipe for a little while.
WARNING: Do not start the windscreen
washer during the cold months until
the windscreen has warmed up. If it
has not warmed up, the liquid could
freeze on the glass and block the view.
WARNING: If there is ice or snow on
the windscreen, do not activate the
windscreen wiper to prevent damage
to the device.

Headlight washers
The headlight washers are activated
automatically when the windscreen
washer is started and the external
lights are on.
The headlight washer and windscreen
washer share the same fluid reservoir,
and a low fluid level is indicated by the
same warning light on the instrument
panel.
The headlight washers are deactivated
if the vehicle's speed exceeds
120 km/h (75 mph).
