WARNING
Without adequate anti-freeze, the washer fluid may freeze onto the windscreen and obscure
your view.
●
In winter temperatures, the window washer system should only be used when adequate
anti-freeze has been added.
●
Never use the window washer system at winter temperatures before the windscreen has
been heated by the ventilation system or the windscreen heating. This could lead to the
anti-freeze mixture freezing on the windscreen and restrict the driver's vision.
WARNING
Worn or dirty windscreen wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and
severe injuries.
●
Always change wiper blades if they are damaged or worn out and when they no longer clean
the window sufficiently (→ Wiper blades, Replacing).
NOTICE
Before setting off and before switching on the ignition, always check the following to avoid
damage to the windows, wiper blades and wiper motor:
●
●
●
The wiper lever is located in the basic position.
Snow and ice have been removed from the wiper blades and windows.
Wiper blades that have become frozen onto the glass have been carefully loosened.
Volkswagen recommends using a de-icer spray for this.
NOTICE
Do not switch on the wipers when the window is dry. Using the wipers when the window is dry
can damage the glass.
When switched on, the wipers will temporarily be switched to the next setting down
when the vehicle is stationary.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and
therefore change automatically when the user account changes (→ Personalisation,
Description).
If the vehicle is parked during cold weather, the service position of the windscreen wiper
may be helpful in order to be able to release the wiper blades better from the
windscreen (→ Wiper blades, Operation).
