Windscreen wiper functions
Windscreen wipers performance in differ-
ent situations
If the vehicle is at a
standstill
The activated position provi-
sionally changes to the previ-
ous position.
During automatic
wipe
The air conditioner comes on
for approximately 30 seconds
in air recirculation mode to pre-
vent the smell of the wind-
screen washer fluid entering
the inside the vehicle.
For the interval
wipe
Intervals between wipes de-
pend on the vehicle's speed.
The higher the vehicle speed
the shorter the intervals.
Heated windscreen washer jets*
The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it does
not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
When the ignition is switched on the heated
windscreen washer jets automatically adjust
the heat depending on the ambient tempera-
ture.
Headlight wash/wipe system*
The headlight washers/wipers clean the
headlight lenses.
After the ignition is switched on, the first and
every fifth time the windscreen washer is
switched on, the headlights are also washed.
Therefore, the windscreen wiper lever should
be pulled towards the steering wheel when
the dipped beam or main beam are on. Any
encrusted dirt (such as insects) should be
cleaned regularly (e.g. when refuelling).
To ensure the headlight washers work cor-
rectly in winter, any snow which has got into
the bumper jet supports should be cleaned
away. If necessary, remove snow with an an-
ti-icing spray.
Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obsta-
cles 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.
