does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the lights and, if
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing light condi-
tions. 59Lights and visibility

Note■The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet areas are free from condensation after a short time, al-
though the headlight lenses may still be misted up around the edge. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.■
If the visibility is poor and the lights are not on (except daytime running
light), the brightness of the instrument lighting reduces to alert the driver to
switch on the lights in due time.
■
The brightness of the instrument lighting with the lights on (except daytime
running lights) can be set in the Infotainment » Owner's Manual Infotainment ,
chapter CAR - Vehicle Settings .

Windscreen wipers and washers
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers
67
Headlight cleaning system
67
The windscreen wipers only operate if the ignition is switched on and the bon-
net is closed.
Winter setting of the windscreen wiper
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wip-
ers in winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
▶ Switch on the windscreen wipers.
▶ Switch off the ignition.
The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which they were when
switching off the ignition.
The service position can also be used as a winter position » page 179, Replac-
ing the windscreen wiper blades .WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving » page 179, Replacing windscreen wiper blades .■
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures without
heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
■ In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!■
Carefully release frozen wiper blades off the windscreen.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to
the windscreen.
■
Do not switch on the ignition if the front wiper arms are retracted. The wiper
arms could damage the paint of the bonnet.
Note
The windscreen washer nozzles of the windscreen are heated automatically
after starting the engine.66Operation
