The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is switched on
and the bonnet is closed
9).
The rear window wiper operates only if the boot lid is closed.
If the intermittent wipe is switched on, the intervals are also controlled depending on
speed.
The rain sensor* automatically regulates the break between the individual wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain.
The rear window will be wiped again if the front window wipers are on when reverse
gear is selected.
The windscreen washer nozzles are heated* when the ignition is switched on.
Top up with wash liquid page 214.
Winter position
If the windscreen wipers are in rest positi on, they cannot be folded out from the wind-
screen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wipers in winter so
that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily. You can set this rest position as
follows:

Switch on the windscreen wipers.

Switch off the ignition. The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which they
were when switching off the ignition.
You can also use the service position page 65 as a winter position.
WARNING

Properly maintained wind screen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving page 65.

Do not use the windscreen washer sy stem at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windscreen and re strict the view to the front.

The rain sensor only operates as a su pport. The driver is not released from
the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers manually
depending on the visibility conditions.Caution
In frosty weather, please firs t of all check whether the windscreen wiper blades are not
frozen to the windscreen before switching them on. Switching on windscreen wipers
when the blades are frozen to the windscreen may result in damage both to the blades
and the motor of the windscreen wipers!
Note

If the slower page 63, fig. 50 or the faster wiper setting is switched on and
the vehicle speed decreases to below 4 km/h, the lower wiper step is switched on
automatically. At a speed increase of more than 8 km/h the previous wiper setting is
established again.

If there is an obstacle on the windscre en, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the obstacle continues to bloc k the wiper, the wiper stops automatically
after 5 attempts to eliminate the obstacle, in order to avoid a damage to the wiper.
Remove the obstacle and and switch on the wiper again.

The content of the windscreen wiper reserv oir is 3 litres. On vehicles which are
equipped with a headlight cleani ng system*, the content of the reservoir is 5.5 litres.
On vehicles fitted with auxiliary heating, the content of the windscreen wiper reservoir
is 4.5 litres.
Automatic rear window wiper*If the windshield wiper lever is in the posi tion or , the rear window wiper carries
out a wiping process every 30 seconds or 10 seconds at a speed above 5 km/h.
When the rain sensor* is active (the lever is in the position ) the function is only
active if the front window wipers continue to operate (no break between each wiping
process).
9)On vehicles which do not have a contact switch for the bonnet, the windshield wiper and wash
system operates also when the bonnet is opened.

Attaching a wiper blade
– Push the wiper blade until it locks up to the stop.
– Check whether the wiper blade is correctly attached.
– Fold the windscreen wiper arm back onto the windscreen.
The wiper arms move back into the rest position - after switching on the ignition and
after changing the position of the window wiper lever or when driving at a speed
greater than 6°km/h.
Wiper blades in proper condition are essential to obtain good visibility. Wiper blades
should not be allowed to become dirtied by dust, insect remains and preserving wax.
Juddering or smearing of the wiper blades could then be due to wax residues left on
the windscreen by vehicle washing in automa tic vehicle wash systems. It is therefore
important to degrease the lips of the wi per blades after every pass through an auto-
matic vehicle wash system .
WARNING

If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to
the windscreen.

You should clean the wiper blades regu larly with a windscreen cleaner in
order to avoid any smears. Clean a wiper blad e with a sponge or cloth if it is very
dirty, for example from insect residues.

Replace the wiper blades once or twice a year for safety reasons. The wiper
blades are available from specialist garages.
