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 193.
WARNING
The rain sensor* may not detect enough rain
to switch 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
blades 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 windscreen 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.
●
If you stop the vehicle with the windscreen
wiper in position 1 or 2, it will automatically
change to a lower position speed. The set
speed will be resumed when the vehicle pulls
away.
●
The windscreen will be wiped again after
approximately five seconds once the “auto-
matic wash/wipe system” has been activa-
ted, provided the vehicle is moving (drip func-
tion). If you activate the wipers less than 3
seconds after the drip function, a new wash
sequence will begin without performing the
last wipe. For the “drip” function to work
