Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry. Dust that accumulates
on a windshield might scratch the glass and/or
damage the wiper blades when wiping occurs
on a dry windshield. If it is necessary to oper

ate the windshield wipers in dry weather con

ditions, always operate the windshield wipers
with windshield washer fluid (

Vehicles with rain
light sensor*:
If you have set intermittent wiping, dirt on the
surface of the sensor or optical effects may
cause the windshield wipers to wipe in an
undesired fashion. This could then damage the
windshield wiper blades or scratch the wind

shield. You should therefore switch off the
windshield wipers when weather conditions
are dry.
>Make sure that the key in the starter switch
is turned to position1.
> Activating intermittent wiping: Turn the
wiper switch to position
1.
After the initial wipe, pauses between wipes
are automatically controlled depending on the
vehicle speed and by the rain
light sensor*.
> Deactivating intermittent wiping: Turn the
wiper switch to position0.

>> Operation
!
Always use a windshield washer concen

trate labeled for winter where temperatures
may fall below freezing point. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the washer system/
reservoir.
>Premix the windshield washer fluid in a
suitable container.
Observe mixing ratios depending on the
outside temperature (

page 308).
>Use the tab to pull cap1 upwards.
>Refill the windshield washer reservoir.
>Push cap
1 onto the windshield washer
reservoir.
Brake fluidThe brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir may be too low if the brake warning
lamp in the instrument cluster comes on
(
page 34) although the parking brake is
released.
!
If you find that the brake fluid in the brake
fluid reservoir has fallen to the minimum mark
or below, have the brake system checked for
brake pad thickness and leaks immediately.
Contact an authorized smart center immedi

ately. Do not add brake fluid as this will not
solve the problem.
The brake fluid reservoir is located in the
front compartment on the driver’s side.

Warning!
During vehicle operation, the boiling
point of the brake fluid is continuously
reduced through the absorption of
moisture from the atmosphere. Under
extremely strenuous operating condi

tions, this moisture content can lead to
the formation of bubbles in the system,
thus reducing the system’s efficiency.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be re

placed regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s
Maintenance Booklet for replacement
