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 wind-
shield wipers with windshield washer
fluid.
! If anything blocks the windshield wip-
ers (leaves, snow, etc.), switch them off
immediately.
For safety reasons, stop the vehicle in a

! Vehicles with rain-light sensor*:
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when the vehicle is taken
to an automatic car wash or during wind-
shield cleaning. Windshield wipers will
operate in the presence of water sprayed
on the windshield, and windshield wip-
ers 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 wind-
shield 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 0047.
After the initial wipe, pauses between
