from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers man-
ually depending on the visibility conditions.
Headlight cleaning system
Read and observe and on page 66 first.
To clean the headlights, the headlamp is also sprayed after every ten squirts.
The headlight washer system works under the following conditions.
The ignition is switched on.
The low beam is switched on.
The outside temperature is about -11° C to +36° C.
To ensure the correct functioning of the system, even in winter, this needs to

WARNING
■
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
Interior mirror dimming
Fig. 57 Interior mirror: manual dimming/auto-darkening
Read and observe
on page 67 first.
Mirrors with manual dimming » Fig. 57 -
Basic position of the mirror
Mirror blackout
Mirror with automatic dimming
After starting the engine, the mirror darkens » Fig. 57 -
automatically.
The mirror dimming is controlled by the light incident on the sensors on the
front and back of the mirror.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Do not attach external devices (e.g. navigation systems) on to the windscreen
or in the vicinity of the interior mirror » .
WARNING
■
The illuminated display of an external navigation device can lead to op-
erational faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
■
Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the light striking the
sensors is not affected by other objects.
