If you switch autowipers on, the wipers will
not cycle until water is detected on the
windscreen. The rain sensor will then
continuously measure the amount of water
on the windscreen and adjust the speed
of the wipers automatically.
Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
using the rotary control. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a lot of water on the
windscreen. With high sensitivity, the
wipers will operate if the sensor detects a
small amount of water on the windscreen.
WINDSCREEN WASHERS WARNING
Do not operate the washer for more
than 10 seconds at a time, and never
when the reservoir is empty.
Whilst the lever is pulled towards the
steering wheel the washer will work in
conjunction with the wipers.
After releasing the lever, the wipers
operate for a short time.

automatically while closing and reverse
some distance if there is an obstacle in the
way.
Overriding the anti-trap function
WARNING
While you close the window for the
third time, the anti-trap function is
disabled. Make sure there are no
obstacles in the way of the closing window. To override this protection function when
there is a resistance, e.g. in the winter,
proceed as follows:
1.
Close the window twice until it reaches
the resistance and let it reverse.
2. Close the window a third time to the resistance. The anti-trap function is
disabled and you cannot close the
window automatically. The window
will override the resistance and you can
close it fully.
3. If the window does not close after the third attempt, have it checked by an
expert.
Resetting the memory of the
electric windows WARNING
The anti-trap function is deactivated
until you have reset the memory.
After the battery has been disconnected
from the vehicle you must reset the
memory separately for each window:
Note:
On vehicles with a convertible top,
the roof and doors must be fully closed
before carrying out the following procedure.
1. Lift and hold the switch until the window is fully closed.
2. Release the switch. 3. Lift the switch again for one more
second.
4. Push and hold the switch until the window is fully open.
5. Release the switch.
6. Lift and hold the switch until the window is fully closed.
7. Open the window and try to close it automatically.
8. Reset and repeat procedure if the window does not close automatically.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you turn the system off no further
alerts will be received. The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 79).
Detection errors
Note:
The alert indicator in the mirror will
not illuminate.
If the system senses a fault on either
sensor, the system warning symbol will
illuminate and remain on. The information
display will confirm the fault and indicate
whether the left or right side is affected.
Blocked sensor WARNING
Prior to the system recognizing a
blocked condition and issuing a
warning, the number of missed
objects will increase. CAUTION
The sensors may not detect vehicles
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
Note:
Keep the rear bumper area
surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice
and snow.
If a sensor becomes blocked the system
performance may degrade. A blocked
sensor message may be displayed.
The system will automatically return to
normal operation once two other vehicles
have been detected on both sides. Trailer towing false alerts CAUTION
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly be detected. Switch the
system off to avoid false alerts. See
Information Displays (page 83). If the vehicle is fitted with a trailer tow
module approved by us, the system will
detect a connected trailer and deactivate.
A confirmation message will be shown in
the information display. See Information
Messages (page 90). The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 79).

Windows and Mirrors

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen free from obstruction (snow,
leaves etc.) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the
windscreen. The air currently in the passenger
compartment will be recirculated. Outside
air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioning
Note:
The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4°C (39°F).
Note: If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be
higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator
where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted
from the air to help keep the windows free
of mist. The resulting condensation is
directed to the outside of the vehicle and
it is therefore normal if you see a small
pool of water under your vehicle.
General information on controlling
the interior climate
Fully close all the windows. Warming the interior
Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some of
the air towards the windscreen and the
door windows.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.
