Operation
Headlight wash/wipe system
The headlight w ashers/wipers cl
ean the
headlight l
enses.
After the ignition is switched on, the first and
every fifth time the windscreen washer is
switched on, the headlights are also washed.
Therefore, the windscreen wiper lever should
be pulled towards the steering wheel when
the dipped beam or main beam are on. Any
encrusted dirt (such as insects) should be
cleaned regularly (e.g. when refuelling).
To ensure the headlight washers work cor-
rectly in winter, any snow which has got into
the bumper jet supports should be cleaned
away. If necessary, remove snow with an an-
ti-icing spray. Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obsta-
cles that ar e on the windscr

een. The wiper
will stop moving if the obstacle blocks its
path. Remove the obstacle and switch the
wiper back on again. Rain sensor*
