A WARNING
- The rain sensor is only intended to assist the
driver. The driver may still be responsible
for manually switching the wipers on based on visibility conditions.
- The windshield may not be treated with wa ter-repelling windshield coating agents . Un
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark
ness or low sun, can result in increased
glare, which increases the risk of an acci
dent. Wiper blade chatter is also possible.
- Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving ~ page 53, Replacing wiper
blades .
«1j) Note
-If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
52
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind shield can damage the wiper blades.
- The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us
ing a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
(D Tips
- The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position .
- Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor
function . Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
- The washer fluid nozzles for the windshield
washer system are heated at low tempera
tures when the ignition is on.
- When stopping temporarily, such as at a
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
