damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windscree ncan
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when the windscree nisdry.
If it is necessary to switch on the wind-
screen wipers in dry weather conditions,
alwayso perate them using washer fluid. !
If the windscree
nwipers leave smears on
the windscree nafter the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may
be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windscree nwith washer fluida fter an auto-
matic car wash.
! Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due
to optical influences and the windscreen
becoming dirty in dry weather conditions,
the windscree nwipers may be activated
inadvertently .This could damage the wind-
