When the main or dipped beam is on, the lenses are washed every
time the windscreen is washed.
At regular intervals, such as when filling the tank, the dirt on the
lenses (insects) should be removed.

When it is freezing, check that the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass
before switching the wipers on for the first time.
If the wiper blades drag, it may be caused by various things:
• If the vehicle has been washed in an automatic car wash,
residual wax may be left on the windscreen.
Filling the windscreen washer container with a window cleaner
containing a wax remover can cure the problem.
• Damaged wiper blades can lead to dragging. In this case the
blades should be renewed.
• The blades are set at an incorrect angle.
Have the angle checked and, if necessary, adjusted by a Technical
Service Centre.

With this setting a pleasant climate in the vehicle is reached most
quickly.
This setting should therefore only be altered when required for
personal comfort.

Using the system
When ignition has been switched on the system normally works in
the automaticmode. Displays1, 2, 3, 7, 8and 9appear.
The Climatronicmaintains the selected vehicle interior temperature
fully automatically.
To do this, the temperature of the air flow as well as the blower
speed (air volume) and air distribution are altered automatically.
The system also takes account of intense sunlight. This eliminates
the need for a manual re-adjustment.
If the settings deviated from Automaticoperation before the
ignition is switched off the selected functions are permanently
stored. Only the function “air recirculation” is cancelled after about
20 minutes.
