CAUTION
If the ignition is switched off while the windscreen wipers are switched on,
■
the windscreen wipers will continue wiping in the same mode after the igni-
tion is turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold tempera-
tures between the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned
back on again.
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or be-
■
fore switching on the ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the
windscreen. If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are fro-
zen to the windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wip-
er motor!
Carefully peel frozen wiper blades off the pane.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to
■
the windscreen.
Do not switch on the ignition if the front wiper arms are retracted. The wiper
■
arms could damage the paint of the bonnet.
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
■
obstacle. The wiper stops automatically after 5 attempts to eliminate the ob-
stacle, in order to avoid a damage to the wiper. Remove the the obstacle and
switch the wiper on again.
Note
Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
■
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rub-
bers.
The rear window wiper only operates if the boot lid is closed.
■
To avoid streaking, the wiper blades must be kept clean
■
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
■
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than approx. +10 °C.
