WARNING
●
Worn and dirt
y wiper blades reduce visi-
bility 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 ventilation system. The windscreen
washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the
windscreen and obscure your view of the
road.
●
Always note the corresponding warnings

page 61.
WARNING
The rain sensor* may not detect enough
rain to s
witch on the wipers.
●
If necessary, switch on the wipers man-
ually when water on the windscreen ob-
structs visibility.
CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the
windscreen wipers and the window wiper
ar
e not frozen. If you switch on the wind-
screen wipers when the wiper blades are
frozen to the windscreen, you could dam-
age both the wiper blades and the wiper
motor.
Note
●
The wipers and washers will work only
when the ignition is s
witched on.
●
The heat output of the heated jets* is
controlled 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 interval/rain sensor mode when the igni-
tion 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 vehicl
e with the wind-
screen wiper in position 1 or 2, it will auto-
matically 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 “au-
tomatic wash/wipe system” has been acti-
vated, provided the vehicle is moving (drip
function). If you activate the wipers less
than 3 seconds after the drip function, a
new wash sequence will begin without per-
forming the last wipe. For the “drip” func-
tion to work again, you have to turn the ig-
nition off and then on again.
●
Do not put stickers on the windscreen in
front of the rain sensor*. This may cause
sensor disruption or faults.
●
Depending on the version of the model,
when you engage reverse gear and with
the headlight wiper activated, this can
start a wipe.
