Washer/Wiper system
Turn the rain sensor off in auto-
matic car washes. Failure to do so
could result in damage caused by
undesired wiper activation.<
Normal wiper speed
The system automatically reverts to
operation in the intermittent mode
whenever the vehicle is stationary (not
on vehicles with rain sensor
*).
Fast wiper speed
The wipers revert to operation at stan-
dard speed when the vehicle stops (not
on vehicles with rain sensor
*).
Clean the windshield
The system sprays washer fluid against
the windshield and activates the wipers
for a brief period.
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 150.
Cleaning headlights*
When the headlights are on, they are
also cleaned automatically every fifth
time you activate the clean the wind-
shield (5) or intensive cleaning (6)
mode.
Do not use the washers if there is
any danger that the fluid will
freeze on the windshield, as your vision
could be obscured. Always use an anti-
freeze agent. Refer to page 139.
Do not use the washers when the reser-
voir is empty. 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.
