Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers

Rear windscreen wipers and washers

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.
