intensity of the rain.
! Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry. Dust that
accumulates on a windshield might
scratch the glass and/or damage the
wiper blades when wiping occurs on a dry
windshield. If it is necessary to operate
the windshield wipers in dry weather
conditions, always operate the
windshield wipers with windshield
washer fluid.
! If anything blocks the windshield
wipers (leaves, snow, etc.), switch them
off immediately.

Vehicle swith rain-ligh tsensor*: When you
select intermittent wiping, the sensor is
activated. The sensor automatically sets a
suitablew iping interval depending on the
wetness of the sensor surface.
! Vehicles with rain-light sensor*:
Do not leave windshield wipers in
intermittent setting when the vehicle is
taken to an automatic car wash or during
windshield cleaning. Windshield wipers
will operate in the presence of water
sprayed on the windshield, and
windshield wipers may be damaged as a
result.
! Vehicles with rain-light sensor*:
If you have set intermittent wiping, dirt
on the surface of the sensor or optical
effects may cause the windshield wipers
to wipe in an undesired fashion. This
could then damage the windshield wiper
blades or scratch the windshield. You
should therefore switch off the
windshield wipers when weather
conditions are dry.
X Make sure the key is in starter switch
position 1.
X Activating intermittent wiping: Turn the
wiper switch to position 0004.
After the initial wipe, pauses between
wipes are automatically controlled
depending on the vehicle speed and by the
rain-light sensor*.

force.
G
WARNING

obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. G
