# WARNING
|
|
|
|
Without adequate anti- freeze, the washer fluid may freeze onto the windscreen and obscure your view. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
|
|
|
|
- At winter temperatures, use the window washer system only when adequate anti-freeze has been added.
|
|
- Never use the windscreen washer system at winter temperatures before the windscreen has been heated.
|
|
|
|
# WARNING
|
|
|
|
Worn or dirty windscreen wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe injuries.
|
|
|
|
- Always change the wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the windscreen properly.
|
|
|
|
# NOTICE
|
|
|
|
Incorrect handling of the wipers can lead to damage to the windscreen and wiper blades and also to the wiper motor.
|
|
|
|
- Before starting your journey and switching on the ignition, check if the wiper lever is in its OFF position.
|
|
- Remove snow and ice from the wipers and windows.
|
|
- Always carefully loosen wiper blades that have become frozen onto the window.
|
|
- Do not switch on the wipers when the window is dry.
|
|
|
|
The wipers will downshift one gear when the vehicle is stopped and will be switched off for long stops.
|
|
|
|
If the driver door is opened when the vehicle is stationary, the windscreen wipers will move to their initial position and will be switched off. If the door is closed within a few seconds or the wiper lever is moved, the wipers will be switched back on again.
|
|
|
|
Placing the wipers in the maintenance position will help to better loosen the wiper brush blades from the front windscreen.

# Rain and Light Sensor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the left of the steering column: wiper lever
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
$\mathbf{\widehat{B}}$ Rain and light sensor activated, gear 1.
|
|
|
|
$\mathbf{\widehat{C}}$ Rain and light sensor activated, gear 2.
|
|
|
|
When the rain and light sensor is activated, it automatically controls the frequency and speed of the wipers, depending on the intensity of the rain.
|
|
|
|
The automatic wipe function can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system.
|
|

|
|
2. Turn the switch to the required position:
|
|
|
|
Position $\mathbf{\widehat{B}}$ : low sensitivity of the automatic wipe function.
|
|
|
|
Position $(C)$ : high sensitivity of the automatic wipe function.
|
|
|
|
If the automatic wipe function is deactivated in the Infotainment system, the intervals are set at fixed levels.
|
|
|
|
# Deactivating the rain and light sensor
|
|
|
|
- Turn the switch to position OFF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# WARNING
|
|
|
|
The automatic wipe function will not always detect all precipitation sufficiently and activate the wipers. If view is restricted, this can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
|
|
|
|
- If necessary, switch on the wipers manually if the water on the windscreen restricts the field of vision. |
