Low screen wash
If the low washer fluid warning is on, the
windscreen wipers will not operate when the
wash/wipe is activated, even though there may
be washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
which is sprayed onto the screen. This is to

of the glass or smearing dirt across the screen.
Normal, fast or single wipe can be selected
manually, to clear any spray from the
windscreen.

If the timed jet func tion is configured,
the washer jets will only operate on the
up stroke of the wipers.

with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and

ten minutes have elapsed since the last
operation of the headlamp washers.
Note: The power wash sequence is reset when
the headlamps or the ignition are turned off.
Note: Headlamp power wash is inhibited when

or sponge, using wa rm soapy water.
If the wipers fail to clear the windscreen when
operated, check the cond ition of the blade and
replace if necessary.

adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid
may cause irritation to the eyes and
skin. Always read and observe the washer fluid
