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.
