Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield/rear window can
scratc hthe glass if wiping takes place when
the windshield/rear window is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, alwaysu se
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield/rear window after the vehicle has
been washed in an automatic car wash, this
may be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windshield/rear window with washer fluid
after an automatic car wash.
!Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due to
optical influences and the windshield becom-
ing dirty in dry weather conditions, the wind-
shield wipers may be activated inadvertently.
This could then damage the windshield wiper
blades or scratc hthe windshield.
For this reason, you should alwayss witch off
the windshield wipers in dry weather.

XSwitch on the ignition.
XTurn the combination switch to the corre-

In the ÄorÅ position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically according
to the intensity of the rain. In the Åposition,
the rain sensor is more sensitiv ethan in the
Ä position, causing the windshield wiper to
wipe more frequently.
Intermittent wiping is interrupted if you stop the vehicle and open afront door. This protects
people getting into and out of the vehicle from
being sprayed with water.
Intermittent wiping continues when all doors are
closed and:
