CAUTION
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
Switch off the windshield wipers in dry
weather conditions, otherwise dirt on
the surface of the rain sensor or optical
effects can cause inadvertent wiper
sweeps. This could damage the wiper
blades or scratch the windshield.
iCanada only:
The speed of the windshield wipers is
automatically reduced if the vehicle
comes to a halt with the windshield
wipers switched on.
For example, if you have selected
speedII and stop the vehicle,the wipers
wipe at intermittent speed until you pull
away again. The wipe intervals are long-
er in intermittent mode.
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
You can use speedI as the universal
speed. The rain sensor adjusts the wip-
ing frequency according to how heavy
the rain is. If you stop the vehicle,
speedsIII andII are automatically
switched down to speedI.
The original speed of the windshield
wipers is resumed when you drive fast-
er than 5 mph (8 km / h) again.

front and rear bumper to monitor the area
around your vehicle.Range of the sensors
The sensors must be free from dirt, ice and
slush, otherwise they may not function cor-
rectly. Clean the sensors regularly, taking
care not to scratch or damage them
(\2page 244).

ger yourself and others.Warning
