Headlight cleaning system

The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet and boot are closed 1)
.
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.
CAUTION
■ If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. The wipers must be set to the service position to raise them
off the windscreen » page 166.■
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.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wipers will try to push away
the obstacle five times. The wipers then stop to prevent themselves from be-
ing damaged. Only switch the wipers on again after the obstacle has been re-
moved. 
1)
On vehicles which do not have a contact switch for the bonnet, the windshield wiper and wash system
operates also when the bonnet is opened.
64Using the system

Note■Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rub-
bers.■
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than +10 °C.

After releasing the operating lever, the wipers will make from 3 to 4 wiper
strokes.
At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper wipes once again 5 seconds after
the last wiper stroke in order to wipe the last drops from the windscreen. This
function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
 AWARNINGAutomatic wiping during rain is only a support. The driver is not released
from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers man-
ually depending on the visibility conditions.
Note
If the wiping is carried out without interruption, the wiping speed varies de-
pending on the vehicle speed.

Headlight cleaning systemRead and observe
and on page 64 first.
The headlights are cleaned with every first and after every fifth spraying of the
windscreen under the following conditions.
The ignition is switched on.
The low beam is switched on.
The outside temperature is about -12° C to +39° C.
To ensure the correct functioning of the system, even in winter, this needs to be regularly cleared of snow and ice (e.g. using the de-icing spray).
Rear view mirror
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror dimming
66
Mirrors
67WARNINGExterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, they make objects ap-
pear smaller and further away. Therefore, use the interior mirror whenever
possible, for assessing the distances to the vehicles following behind.WARNING■ The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may
leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respi-
ratory system.■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.

Mirror with automatic dimming
The mirror dimming » Fig. 53 -

start.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
WARNING■ Attach external devices (e.g. navigation system) not in the vicinity of the
mirror with automatic dimming . The illuminated display of an external de-
vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror -There is a risk of an ac-
cident.■
Automatic mirror dimming only operates correctly if the light striking the
sensor is not affected by other objects. The sensors are located on the
front and back of the mirror.
