Fig. 56 Lever: windshield wipers
> Move the windshield wiper lever SY to the cor-
responding position:
© - Windshield wipers off
@ - Rain sensor/intermittent mode. The wind-
shield wipers switch on once the vehicle speed
exceeds approximately 2 mph (4 km/h) and it is
raining. The higher the sensitivity of the rain sen-
sor that is set (switch ©) to the right), the earlier
the windshield wipers react to moisture on the
windshield. You can deactivate the rain sensor
mode, which switches the interval mode on. In
intermittent mode, you can adjust the interval
time using the switch ©).
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
VEHICLE > Light & Visibility > Rain sensor.
@ - Slow wiping
@ - Fast wiping
@ - Single wipe. If you hold the lever in this posi-
tion longer, the wipers switch from slow wiping
to fast wiping.
© - Clean the windshield {. The wipers wipe
one time after several seconds of driving to re-
move water droplets. You can switch this func-
tion off by moving the lever to position ©) within
ten seconds of the afterwipe. The afterwipe func-
68
tion is reactivated the next time you switch the
ignition on.
Clean the headlights*. The headlight washer sys-
tem* operates only when the low beam head-
lights are on. If you move the lever to position
©, the headlights and the night vision assist
camera* are cleaned at intervals.

Z\ 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 must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Under unfavorable conditions, such as wet-
ness, darkness, and when the sun is low,
these coatings can cause increased glare,
which increases the risk of an accident. They
can also cause wiper blade chatter.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 69, Cleaning/changing wip-
er blades.

() Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
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 wiper blades.
— Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wiper system must be switched off (lever in
position @). This prevents the wipers from
switching on unintentionally and causing
damage to the windshield wiper system.
G) Tips
— The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position. The single wipe
function (lever in position @)) also functions
when the ignition is switched off.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor >

— Obstacles may disappear from the measure-
ment range when approaching them, even if n
g PP 9 Locations of the sensors and cameras
they were already detected.
—Insome situations, the ability of the sen-
sors and cameras to detect and display cer-
tain objects may be limited.

such as bumpers on parked cars, garage
doors that are partially open, or objects
that are hanging

tures, such as fabric
@ Tips
— The sensors and cameras and the areas
around them must not be obstructed be-
cause this can impair the function of the

systems that depend on them. Make sure Fig. 118 Camera installation location
that the sensors and cameras are free of
snow, ice, and other deposits. Do not use Front area
any accessories, stickers, or other objects
that extend into the range of the sensors
and cameras.
— Do not use a license plate bracket different
from the one installed by the factory in the
front of the vehicle, because it may impair
the function of some systems.
— The function of the sensors and cameras
may be limited when light and visibility con-
ditions are poor, for example when driving
into a tunnel, when there is glare, or when
there are reflective objects.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the follow-
ing sensors and cameras may be installed:
— Laser scanner in the front in the radiator grille
oA

are diagrams and do not represent a true-
to-scale image of the sensor ranges.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the follow-
ing sensors and cameras may be installed:

Night vision assist
Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist
Night vision assist helps you when it is dark by
using an infrared camera to monitor the area in
front of your vehicle, within the limits of the sys-
tem. It can display objects up to a distance of ap-
proximately 1000 feet (300 m).
Pedestrian and wild animals are detected by
measuring the temperature difference between
the object and the background. Pedestrians and
wild animals will not be detected if the tempera-
ture difference is too small. The pedestrian and
wild animal marking feature is deactivated at
temperatures above approximately 77 °F (25 °C)
and when it is light outside.
The thermal image detected by the camera is dis-
played in the instrument cluster. Warm areas
generally appear lighter and cold areas appear
darker.
The camera for the night vision assist @)
= page 156 is located in the vehicle's radiator
grille. Make sure the night vision camera is not
covered by stickers, deposits, or any other ob-
structions because this can impair the night vi-
sion assist function. Follow the information
about cleaning > page 309.

ZX WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 154. >
