(!)-Rain sensor mode. The windshield wipers
switch on once the vehicle speed exceeds approx­ imately 2 mph (4 km/h) and it is ra ining. The
higher the sensitivity of the rain sensor that is set
(switch @ to the right), the earlier the wind­
shield wipers react to moisture on the wind ­
sh ield . You can deactivate the rain sensor mode
in the Infota inment system, which switches the
intermittent mode on. To do th is, select:
! MENU !
button > Vehicle > left control button > Dri ver
a ss is ta nc e
> Rain sen sor. In intermittent mode ,
you can adjust the interva l time using the switch
@ .

© -sing le wipe If you hold the lever in this posi ­
tion longer, the wipers switch from slow wiping
to fast w iping.
® -clean the windsh ie ld The wipers wipe one
time after several seconds of dr iving to remove
water droplets. You can switch this function off
by moving the lever to position ® within

A WARNING
- T he rain sensor is only intended to assist the
driver. The driver may still be responsible
for manually switching the w ipers on based
on v is ibility conditions.
- The w indshie ld may not be treated with wa­
ter -repelling windshield coating agents. Un­
favorable conditions, s uch as wetness, dark­
ness or low sun, can result in increased
glare, which increases the risk of an acc i­
dent . Wiper blade chatter is also poss ible.
- Properly functioning windsh ield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe

wiper blades are not frozen to the wind­
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind­
shield can damage the w iper blades.
- Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wiper system must be sw itched off (lever in
position

switching on unintentionally and caus ing
damage to the windsh ield wiper system.
@ Tips

ign ition is switched off. You can activate the
w indshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the w indshield
w iper lever to any position.

tures when the ignition is on .
