Washer/Wiper system
Turn the rain sensor off in auto-
matic car washes. Failure to do so 
could result in damage caused by 
undesired wiper activation.< 
Normal wiper speedThe system automatically reverts to 
operation in the intermittent mode 
whenever the vehicle is stationary (not 
on vehicles with rain sensor
*).
Fast wiper speedThe wipers revert to operation at stan-
dard speed when the vehicle stops (not 
on vehicles with rain sensor
*).
Clean the windshieldThe system sprays washer fluid against 
the windshield and activates the wipers 
for a brief period.
Intensive cleaning
*
As in setting 5. In addition, an intensive-
action washer fluid is first sprayed on 
the windshield.
For changing the wiper blades, refer to 
page 150.Cleaning headlights
*
When the headlights are on, they are 
also cleaned automatically every fifth 
time you activate the clean the wind-
shield (5) or intensive cleaning (6) 
mode.
Do not use the washers if there is 
any danger that the fluid will 
freeze on the windshield, as your vision 
could be obscured. Always use an anti-
freeze agent. Refer to page 139.
Do not use the washers when the reser-
voir is empty. This could cause damage 
to the washer pump.< Windshield washer jetsThe windshield washer jets are warmed 
automatically when the ignition key is in 
position 2.
