! 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 can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
! If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in 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 scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch off the windshield wipers in dry weather. Combination switch

X Turn the combination switch to the corre-

In the 0062or0063 position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically according
to the intensity of the rain. In the 0063position,
the rain sensor is more sensitive than in
the 0062 position, causing the windshield wiper
to wipe more frequently.
Vehicles with MAGIC VISION CONTROL: the
washer fluid is fed through the wiper blades and when wiping with washer fluid 00D4the washer
fluid is emitted directly from the blades. Windshield wipers
