WARNING
Without adequate anti-freeze, the washer fluid may freeze onto the windscreen and obscure your view. This can cause accidents and
serious or fatal injuries.
● At winter temperatures, use the window washer system only when adequate anti-freeze has been added.
● Never use the windscreen washer system at winter temperatures before the windscreen has been heated by the ventilation
system.
WARNING
Worn or dirty windscreen wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe injuries.
● Always change the wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the windscreen properly (→ Wiper blades).
NOTICE
Incorrect handling of the wipers can lead to damage to the windscreen and wiper blades and also to the wiper motor.
● Before starting your journey and switching on the ignition, check to make sure that the wiper lever is in its basic position.
● Remove snow and ice from the wipers and windows.
● Always carefully loosen wiper blades that have become frozen onto the window.
● Do not switch on the wipers when the window is dry.
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 personalised user accounts and therefore change when the user account changes.
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).
Window wipe/wash system for cleaning the windscreen or rear window
The window wipe/wash system cleans the windscreen or rear window with the wipers and washer fluid. To ensure that the system
functions correctly in all weather conditions, sufficient anti-freeze must be added to the washer fluid (→ Washer fluid).
