Windshield wipers

Switching the windshield wipers

on/off

Do not operate the windshield wipers when

the windshield is dry, as this could damage

the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-

lected on the windshield can scratch the glass

if wiping takes place when the windshield is

dry.

If it is necessary to switch on the windshield

wipers in dry weather conditions, always use

washer fluid when operating the windshield

wipers.

If the windshield wipers leave smears on the

windshield after the vehicle has been washed

in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-

dues may be the reason for this. Clean the

windshield using washer fluid after washing

the vehicle in an automatic car wash.

Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the windshield

becomes dirty in dry weather conditions, the

windshield wipers may be activated inadver-

tently. This could then damage the windshield

wiper blades or scratch the windshield.

For this reason, you should always switch off

the windshield wipers in dry weather.

Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the Ä or Å

position, the appropriate wiping frequency is

automatically set according to the intensity of

the rain. In the Å position, the rain sensor is

more sensitive than in the Ä position, caus-

ing the windshield wiper to wipe more fre-

quently.

If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield will

no longer be wiped properly. This could prevent

you from observing the traffic conditions.
