A WARNING
-The ra in sensor is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still responsible
for manually sw itching the w ipers on ac­
cording to the v is ibility conditions.
- The windshield may not be treated w ith
water-repe lling windshield coat ing
agents. Unfavorable conditions, such as
wetness, darkness o r low sun, can result
in increased glare. W iper blade chatter is
also possible.
- Properly functioning windshie ld w iper
blades are requi red fo r a clear view and
safe driving~
page 51, Replacing
front windshield wiper blades .
(D Note
-In case of frost, make sure the wind­
shield wiper b lades are not frozen to the
windsh ield . Sw itching on the windshield
wipers when the blades are frozen to the
windsh ield can damage the wiper blades.
- Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wipe r system must be switched
off (lever
in position 0). This prevents unintention­
al sw itching on and damage to the wind­
s h ield wiper system.
- Do not use the wipers to remove ice from
the windows. Using windshie ld w ipers as
i ce scrapers destroys the wiper b lades.
(D Tips
- The windshield wipe rs switch off when
t h e ignit ion is turned
off. You can acti­
vate the windshield wipers after the igni­
tion is switched back on by moving the
windsh ield wiper leve r to any pos ition.
- Worn or dirty windsh ie ld w iper blades
r esult in streak ing. This can affect the
r ain senso r funct ion. Check your wind­
s hi eld wipe r blades regularly.
- The washer fluid nozzles in the w ind­
s hi eld washer system are heated* at low
temperatures when the ig nit ion is on.
- When stopping temporar ily, e.g. at a
traff ic light, the se t speed of the w ind- Light
s and Visi on 5 1
shield w ipers is automatically reduced by
one speed.
- In vehi cles w ith an MMI, you can switch
the rain senso r or
off in the Driver assi s­
tance
menu.
