Headlight cleaning system

Read and observe and
After the ignition is switched on, the headlights are always cleaned at the first
and after every tenth spray of the windscreen (setting
page 78), when the low beam or main beam is switched on.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight
lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guide-
lines must be observed » page 179, Headlight lenses.
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any
snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be
cleared with a de-icing spray.
CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand – there
is risk of damage.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror
Exterior mirrors
WARNING
Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, condensation or
■
other objects.
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
■
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
■
the following vehicles.

WARNING
The mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory
■
system. Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not
on
possible, at least open the window.
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
■
ately wash the affected area for several minutes plenty of water. Then con-
sult a doctor immediately.
