. The windscreen wiper blades are supplied as
st
andar
d with a l ayer of gr
aphit
e. This layer is
responsible for ensuring that the wipe is silent.
If the graphite layer is damaged, the noise of the water as it is wiped across the windscreen
will be louder.
Check the condition of the wiper blades reg-
ul

arly. If the wipers scrape across the
glass, they should be changed if they are
damaged, or cleaned if they are dirty

Operation
More the lever to the required position:
4 v
Short wipe. Brief press, short clean.
Hold the lev
er do
wn for more time to in-
crease the wipe frequency.
5 W
Windscreen washer. The windscreen
washer function is activated by push-
ing the le

ver towards the steering
wheel, and the wipers operate simulta-
neously.
6 
Interval wipe for rear window. The wip-
er will wipe the window approximat
ely
e

very six seconds.
7 \
The rear window wash function is acti-
vated by pressing the l
e

ver, and the
rear wiper starts simultaneously. WARNING
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you hav e
w

armed the windscreen with the heating
and ventilation system. The windscreen
washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the
windscreen and obscure your view of the
road. CAUTION
If the ignition is switched off with the wind-
screen wipers active, they compl et

e their
wipe before returning to the rest position.
When switching the ignition back on, the
windscreen wiper will continue to operate
at the same wiping level. Ice, snow and oth- er obstacles on the windscreen may dam-
age the wiper and the windscreen wiper
motor.

Braking and parking
Information about the brakes New brake pads
For the first 200 to 300 km (100 t
o 200
mil
es), new brake pads have not yet reached
their maximum braking capacity, and need to
be “run in” first. However, you can compen-
sate for the slightly reduced braking effect by
applying more pressure on the brake pedal.
Avoid overloading the brakes while running
them in.
Wear
The rate of wear on the brake pads depends
a great deal on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the vehicle is operated. This is a
particular problem in urban traffic and short
stretches, or with very sporty driving.
Depending on the speed, the braking force
and the environmental conditions (e.g. tem-
perature, air humidity, etc.) noises may be
produced when braking.
Wet roads or road salt
In certain situations (for example, on driving
through flooded areas, in severe downpours
or after washing the vehicle) the braking ac-
tion could be delayed if the discs and pads
are damp, or frozen in winter. In this case the
brakes should be “dried” by pressing the
brake pedal several times. At high speed and with the windscreen wipers
activated, the brak
e pads will briefly t

ouch
the brake discs. This takes place, although
unnoticeable to the driver, at regular intervals
to improve the response time of the brakes
when they are wet.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be
temporarily reduced if the vehicle is driven for
some distance without using the brakes when
there is a lot of salt on the road in winter. The
layer of salt that accumulates on the discs
and pads can be removed by gently apply-
ing the brakes a few times.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for corrosion to
form on the discs and dirt to build up on the
brake pads if the vehicle is used infrequently
or the brakes are not used very often.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or if rust
has formed on the disks, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and disks by braking firmly
a few times at a moderately high speed
