The wipers are partially hidden behind
the hood. To bring the wipers up into
their vertical position (important when
changing the blades, or folding up
when frost is expected):
With the control lever in position 1,
switch off the ignition when the wipers
are in the parked position.
If equipped with the rain sensor:
> Switch the wipers on
(control lever 1, 2 or 4)
> When the wipers are in an approxi-
mately vertical position, switch off
the ignition.
Fold the wipers back onto the
windshield before turning the
ignition key to position 1 or 2. If you do
not, they could be damaged.
For changing the wiper blades, refer to
page 166.
1 Intermittent wipe or rain
sensor
*
Intermittent wipe:
You can use rotary dial 6 to select from
four wiper intervals.
In addition, the wipe interval automati-
cally adapts to variations in road speed.
Rain sensor:
When the rain sensor is activated, the
windshield wiper is controlled automati-
cally, depending on the degree of wet-
ness of the windshield (in both snow
and rain). You do not have to be con-
cerned with switching the windshield
wiper on or off or adjusting the wipe in-
terval between intermittent and full
wipe. Instead, you can concentrate fully
on the traffic conditions.
