! With intermittent wiping with rain sensor:
Due to optical influences and the wind-
screen becoming dirty in dry weather con-
ditions, the windscreen wipers may be acti-
vated inadvertently. This could then dam-
age the windscreen wiper blades or scratch
the windscreen.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windscreen wipers in dry weather.
X Turn the key to position 1or 2in the ignition
lock.
X Turn the combination switch to the corre-
sponding position.
In the ÄorÅ position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically accord-
ing to the intensity of the rain. In the Å
position, the rain sensor is more sensitive
than in the Äposition and therefore the
windscreen wiper will wipe more frequently.
