Instruments and controls
Windscreen wipers/washer
Wipers operate at "high" speed.

key must be in at least position I and the

(option on certain markets)
Windscreen wipers
Windscreen wipers off.
High-pressure wash of the headlamps
consumes a great deal of washer fluid. To
save fluid, the headlamps are only washed
every fifth time (within a ten minute period). If
ten minutes have elapsed since the last
windscreen washing, the headlamps receive
a high-pressure wash the next time the
windscreen is washed.
If the lever is in the 0 position and
you move it upwards, the wipers will
sweep one stroke at a time for as long as you
hold the lever up.

another wiper program. If the stalk switch
is raised, the rain sensor will remain
active; the wipers make an extra sweep
and then return to rain sensor mode when
the stalk is released to position 0.
Reduced washing
If only approx. one litre of washer fluid
remains in the reservoir, the supply to the
headlamps and the rear window is cut off in
order to prioritise cleaning of the windscreen.
Wipers operate at "normal" speed.
The rain sensor is automatically deactivated
when the key is removed from the ignition
