Wipers and Washers
Note: Move to position O marked on the
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
wiper lever to switch off.
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
Intermittent Wipe
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers and vehicle power off before using
an automatic car wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 224). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades (page
224).
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield.
Note: When wiping on dry glass, the wipers
may switch to the next lower operating
mode (low-speed or intermittent). The
previous operation mode may resume after
the windshield becomes wet again.
