Cleaning windshield and headlamps

When the vehicle lighting system is
switched on, the headlamps are also cleaned at regular and appropriate inter-
vals.
Do not use the washers if there is any
danger that the fluid will freeze on the
windshield. If you do so, your vision could
be obscured. To avoid freezing, use a
washer fluid antifreeze, refer to Washer
fluid.
Avoid activating the washer when the res-
ervoir is empty, as damage to the pump
could result.<

matically heated in ignition key position 2.

Turn the serrated dial 5.
Deactivating rain sensor
Press the button again. The indicator lamp
goes out.
The rain sensor is automatically deacti-
vated when you switch off the ignition.
