Lights and visibility
For the sake of the environment
The heated rear window should be switched
off as
soon as the glass is demisted. By sav-
ing electrical power you can also save fuel.
Note
To avoid possible damage to the battery, an
automatic
temporary disconnection of this
function is possible, coming back on when
normal operating conditions are re-establish-
ed.
Sun visors
Fig. 137 Sun visor on the driver side.
The sun visors for the driver and the front
p
a
s
senger can be pulled out of their central
supports and turned towards the doors in the
direction of the arrow ››› Fig. 137. Never pull
them downwards.
The driver sun visor has compartments for
cards, and the passenger sun visor has a
vanity mirror with a cover*.
Note
Incorrect use of the sun visor (e.g. pulling
them downw
ards once they are open) may re-
sult in broken hinges. This damage is not cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.

WARNING
●
Worn and dirty
wiper blades reduce visibili-
ty and safety levels while driving.
●
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road.
●
Always note the corresponding warnings
›››
page 54.
WARNING
The rain sensor* may not detect enough rain
to swit
ch on the wipers.
●
If necessary, switch on the wipers manually
when water on the windscreen obstructs visi-
bility.
CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper
bla
des are not frozen to the glass before us-
ing the wipers for the first time. If you switch
on the windscreen wipers when the wiper
blades are frozen to the windscreen, you
could damage both the wiper blades and the
wiper motor.
Note
●
The winds
creen wipers will only work when
the ignition is switched on.
●
The heat output of the heated jets* is con-
trolled automatically when the ignition is
switched on, depending upon the outside
temperature.
●
In certain versions of vehicles with alarms,
the windscreen wiper will only work in inter-
val/rain sensor mode when the ignition is on
and the bonnet closed.
●
When the interval wipe function is on, the
intervals are directly proportional to the
speed. This way, the higher the vehicle speed
the shorter the intervals.
