Wiper/Washer system
You can leave the lever permanently in
position 1. It is then only necessary to
activate the rain sensor from ignition
key position 1 and up. To do this
> turn rotary dial 7 briefly or
> use either the cleaning windshield 5
or the intensive cleaning 6.
To modify the sensitivity of the rain
sensor:
Turn rotary dial 7.
To deactivate the rain sensor:
Move lever to position 0.
Turn the rain sensor off in auto-
matic car washes. Failure to do so
could result in damage caused by un-
desired wiper activation.<
2 Normal wiper speed
The wipers automatically revert to inter-
mittent operation when the vehicle is
stationary (not on vehicles with rain
sensor
*).
3 Fast wiper speed
The wipers automatically revert to nor-
mal speed when the vehicle is station-
ary (not on vehicles with rain sensor
*).
5 Cleaning windshield
The system sprays washer fluid against
the windshield and activates the wipers
for a brief period.
If you only pull the lever briefly, the sys-
tem sprays washer fluid onto the wind-
shield without activating the wipers.
6 Intensive cleaning*
As in setting 5. In addition, an intensive-
action washer fluid is first sprayed on
the windshield.
For changing the wiper blades, refer to
page 182.
Cleaning headlamps*
If they are on, the headlamps will also
be cleaned every fifth time you activate
cleaning windshield (5) or intensive
cleaning (6).
Do not use the washers if there is
any danger that the fluid will
freeze on the windshield, otherwise vi-
sion could be obscured. For this rea-
son, use an antifreeze agent. Refer to
page 164.
Do not use the washers when the reser-
voir is empty, since this could cause
damage to the washer pump.
Windshield washer jets
The windshield washer jets are warmed
automatically when the ignition key is in
position 2.
