Washer/wiper system/rain sensor
*
To adjust the sensitivity of the rain sen-
sor:
Turn serrated dial 7.

Move lever to position 0.
Deactivate the rain sensor when
passing through an automatic car
wash. Failure to do so could result in
damage caused by undesired wiper
activation.< Normal wipe The system switches automatically to
intermittent mode when the vehicle is
stationary, not on vehicles with rain
sensor. Fast wipe The wipers operate at normal speed
when the vehicle is not moving, not on
vehicles with rain sensor. Windshield washing The system sprays washer fluid against
the windshield and activates the wipers
for a brief period.

have driven on extremely dirty roads.

>With every actuation of clean the
windshield 5 when the vehicle's light-
ing is switched on, the headlamps
will be cleaned at appropriate inter-
vals.

is any danger that the fluid will
freeze on the windshield. If you do so,
your vision could be obscured. There-
fore use antifreeze, refer to page150.
Do not actuate washer systems when
the fluid reservoir is empty, as other-
wise the washer pump will be dam-
aged.<

Washer fluid Engine oilWindshield and headlamp
washer system Approximate capacity is 8.2 US quarts/
7.8 liters.
Fill with water and — if required — with
the addition of a washer antifreeze,
according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.
We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before adding it to
the reservoir.<
Antifreeze agent for the washer
systems is inflammable. For this
reason, keep it away from sources of
flame and store it only in its original
containers. Store it so that it is inacces-
sible to children. Comply with the
instructions on the containers.< 530de298
Checking oil level Oil consumption depends on driving
style and operating conditions.

ature, i.e. after at least 6 miles/10 km
of continuous driving, park the vehi-
cle in a horizontal position
2. Switch off the engine
3. After approx. 5 minutes, pull the dip-
stick out and wipe it off with a clean
lint-free cloth, paper towel, or similar
material 530us100
4. Slide the dipstick carefully all the way
into the dipstick tube and pull it out
again.
The oil level should be in between
the two marks on the dipstick
