Switching the windshield wipers on
Fig. 64 W indshield w iper lever
Move the windshield wiper lever to the corre­
sponding position:
@ -Windshield wiper off
@ -Interval mode. To extend/shorten the
wiper intervals, move the switch@ to the
left/right. In vehicles with a rain sensor* the
wipers turn on in the rain once the vehicle
speed exceeds approximately 2 mph (4 km/h).
The higher the sensitivity of the rain sensor* is
set (switch @ to the right), the earlier the
windshield wipers react to moisture on the
windshield. In some models, you can switch
rain sensor mode off and switch intermittent
mode on in the MMI*. Select:
!CARI function
button
> Car systems* control button > Driver
assist
> Rain sensor . In intermittent mode,
you can adjust the interval time using the@
switch.

droplets, the windshield wiper performs one
afterwipe operation after several seconds
while driving . You can switch this function off
by moving the lever to position ® within 10
seconds of the afterwipe operation. The after­
wipe function is reactivated the next time the
ignition is switched on.
