[ i J Tips
• The windshield wipers are switched off when the ignition is
turned off. Activate the windshield wipers after the ignition is switched back on by moving the windshield wiper lever to any posi­
tion .
• Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result in streaking. This
can affect the rain sensor * function. Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
• The rain sensor * is part of the interval wiping system. Turning off
the ignition will also deactivate the rain sensor*. To reactivate the sensor, switch off the interval wiping function, then switch it back
on again.
• The washer fluid nozzles of the windshield washer system are
heated at low temperatures when the ignition is on.
• When stopping temporarily, e.g. at a traffic light, the set speed of
the windshield wipers is automatically reduced by one speed .•
Service position
The windshield wiper blades are replaced in the service
position .

tion

again.
0 Note
Never maneuver your vehicle with the front windshield wiper arms
raised since they will automatically be moved back to their basic
position above a speed of 3 mph (6 km/h) and can scratch the hood.
[ i J Tips
