Windshield wipers
Important safety notes
GWarning!
Wiper blades are components that are subject
to wear and tear. Replace the wiper blades
twice a year, preferably in the spring and fall.
Otherwise the windows will not be wiped
properly. As a result, you may not be able to
observe surrounding traffic conditions and
could cause an accident.
! Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windshield/rear
window can scratch the glass if wiping
takes place when the windshield/rear
window is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always
use washer fluid when operating the
windshield wipers.

windshield using washer fluid
XSwitch the ignition on.XTurn the combination switch to the
corresponding position.
! Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due
to optical influences and the windshield
becoming dirty in dry weather conditions,
the windshield wipers may be activated
inadvertently. This could then damage the
windshield wiper blades or scratch the
windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windshield wipers in dry weather.
In the Ä or Å position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is automatically set
according to the intensity of the rain. In
the Å position, the rain sensor is more
sensitive than in the Ä position, causing
the windshield wipers to wipe more
frequently.
Intermittent wiping is interrupted when you
stop the vehicle and open a front door. This
prevents a person from being splashed
inadvertently when getting into or out of the
vehicle.
Intermittent wiping continues when all doors
are closed and
Ryou shift the automatic transmission to
drive position D or reverse gear R
or
Ryou change the wipe setting on the
combination switch.
iTo prevent smearing on the windshield or
noise when wiping, wipe the windshield
occasionally with washer fluid.
