WARNINGDo 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.

the windscreen. The wipers must be set to the service position to raise them
off the windscreen » page 161.■
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 separate frozen windscreen wiper blades from the windscreen and
free from snow and ice.
■
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is a risk of damage to the
windscreen by the windscreen wiper arms.
■
Do not switch on the ignition when the wiper arm is raised from the wind-
screen - there is a risk of damage to the bonnet by the wiper arms. 
