• Windscreen wiper blades should therefore
always be changed if they are damaged or
worn and no longer clean the windscreen
properly.
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the glass before using
the wipers. When parking the vehicle in cold

If the ignition is switched off while the wind
screen wiper is switched on, the windscreen
wiper will continue to wipe on the same setting
when the ignition is switched on again. Frost,
snow and other obstructions on the wind
screen can cause damage to the windscreen
wipers and wiper motor.
• Remove any snow and ice from the wipers
before setting off.
• Carefully detach wiper blades that have be
come frozen onto the windscreen. Volkswagen
recommends using a de-icer spray for this.

Do not switch on the windscreen wipers when
the window is dry. Using the wiper blades when
the rear windscreen is dry could cause damage

Fig. 90 Sensitive surface of the rain sensor
Changes to the functioning of the rain
sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations
concerning the sensitive surface~ Fig. 90 of the
rain sensor include:
• Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or
smears caused by damaged wiper blades
can in
crease the length of time for which the wipers are
switched on, shorten the length of the intervals be
tween wipes, or cause the wipers to run continu
ously.
• Insects: insects hitting the surface can cause
the wipers to be activated.
• Salt deposits : in winter, salt deposits can cause
the wiper to continue to wipe the windscreen when
it is almost dry.
• Soiling : dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lo·
tus effect) or detergent deposits (automatic car
wash) can cause the rain sensor to become less
sensitive and react too slowly or even not at all.
• Crack
in the windscreen : when the windscree~
is impacted by a stone, a wash cycle is triggered If ....
