Wiper/washer system for cleaning the windshield or rear window
The wiper/washer system cleans the windshield or rear window with the windshield wipers and windshield washer fluid. To
guarantee correct functioning in all weather conditions, sufficient freeze protection must be added to the windshield washer
fluid ⇒ Washer fluid.
NOTICE
Without sufficient freeze protection, windshield washer fluid can freeze in the hoses filled with water and in the windshield
washer tank at low temperatures. This can cause damage to the windshield washer pump.
Always use windshield washer fluid with sufficient freeze protection.
Automatic rear window wiping
The rear window wiper switches on automatically when the windshield wipers are switched on and reverse gear is engaged.
The automatic activation in reverse gear function can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment
system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
Heated washer nozzles
The heat thaws frozen washer fluid nozzles. The heat output is automatically regulated when the ignition is switched on and is
dependent on the outside temperature. Only the window washer nozzles are heated and not the washer fluid hoses.
Cleaning system of the Rear View Camera system
