Lights and visibility122
WARNING
• Worn and dirty wiper blades obstruct visibility and reduce safety levels.
• In cold conditions, you should not use the wash / wipe system unless
you have warmed the windscreen with the heating and ventilation system.
The washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and obscure
your view of the road.
• Always note the corresponding warnings on ⇒ page 218, “Changing
windscreen wiper blades”.
Caution
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper blades are not frozen to the
glass before using the wipers for the first time. If you switch on the wipers
when the wiper blades are frozen to the windscreen, you could damage both
the wiper blades and the wiper motor.
Note
• The windscreen wipers will only work when the ignition is switched on.
• In certain versions of vehicles with alarms, the windscreen wiper will only
work when the ignition is on and the bonnet closed.
• When in use, the wipers do not go as far as the rest position. When the
lever is moved to position 0, they are totally hidden.
• The next speed down will automatically be selected if speed ⇒ page 121,
fig. 85 or is selected when the vehicle stops. The set speed will be
resumed when the vehicle starts again
• The windscreen will be wiped again after approximately five seconds once
the “automatic wipe/wash system” has been operated while the vehicle is in
transit (drip function). If you activate the wipers less than three secionds after
the drip function, a new wash sequence will begin without the last wipe. For
the “drip” function to work again, you have to turn the ignition off and then
on again.
• When the “intermittent wipe function” is on, the intervals are directly
proportional to the speed. This way, the higher the vehicle speed the shorter
the intervals.
• The wiper will try to wipe away any obstacles that are on the windscreen.
The wiper will stop moving if the obstacle blocks its path. Remove the
obstacle and switch the wiper back on again.
• Before removing any objects that may be trapped in the side areas of the
windscreen, always move the wiper arms to the service position (horizontal).
• The heat output of the heated jets is controlled automatically when the
ignition is switched on, depending upon the outside temperature.
