Wiper blades and washer fluid

Using windscreen wipers

Intermittent wiping

Move the lever up to switch the wipers

to intermittent wiping. Set the number

of sweeps per time unit with the thumbwheel

when intermittent wiping is selected.

Together with the washer fluid, the wipers

aim to improve visibility as well as headlamp

pattern.

The washer nozzles are heated* automatically

in cold weather to prevent the washer fluid

from freezing.

The windscreen wipers are designed to clean

the windscreen. Different settings for the

windscreen wipers are set using the right-

hand stalk switch.

Continuous wiping

Raise the stalk switch for the wipers to

sweep at normal speed.

Information indicating that the washer fluid

needs topping up appears in the driver display

when there is approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer

fluid remaining.

Raise the stalk switch further for the

wipers to sweep at high speed.
