Vehicles with headlamp cleaning
system*:
If the low-beam headlamps have
been switched on, a high-pressure
water jet also cleans the headlamps. For example, if you have selected
speed
II and stop the vehicle,the wip-
ers wipe at intermittent speed until
you pull away again. The wipe intervals
are longer in intermittent mode.
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
You can use speed
I as the universal
speed. The rain sensor adjusts the
wiping frequency according to how
heavy the rain is. If you stop the vehi-
cle, speeds
III and
II are automatical-
ly switched down to speed
I.
The original speed of the windshield
wipers is resumed when you drive
faster than 5 mph (8 km / h) again.
iWipe with windshield washer fluid even
when it is raining. By doing so you can
prevent smears on the windshield.

For specifications of brake fluid, see
"Service products and capacities"
(\2
page 616).The windshield washer reservoir is in the
engine compartment. It holds approx.
7.4 US qt (7.0 l).

Warning
G
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too
low, vapor pockets may form in the brake
system when the brakes are applied hard
(e.g. when driving on long downhill
stretches). This has a detrimental effect
on braking efficiency, which could in-
crease the stopping distance. This in-
creases the risk of an accident.
Have the brake fluid replaced every
two years.
