Replacing bulbs
The front and rear light clusters of your vehi-
cle are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualifiedspecialist workshop which has the necessaryspecialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required.
Lamps are an important aspect of vehicle
safety. You must therefore make sure that
these function correctly at all times. Have the
headlamp setting checked regularly. Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
! Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windshield can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when
the windshield is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield wipers in dry weather conditions, always
use washer fluid when operating the wind-
shield wipers.
! If the windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, wax or
other residues may be the reason for this.
Clean the windshield using washer fluid
after washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash.
! Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
shield becomes dirty in dry weather condi-
tions, the windshield wipers may be activa- ted inadvertently. This could then damage
the windshield wiper blades or scratch the
windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windshield wipers in dry weather. 1

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, causing the wind-
shield wipers to wipe more frequently.
Vehicles with MAGIC VISION CONTROL: the
washer fluid is fed through the wiper blades
and when wiping with washer fluid îthe
washer fluid is emitted directly from the
blades.
Vehicles with MAGIC VISION CONTROL: if
you push and hold the combination switch
beyond the point of resistance in the direction
of arrow B, the manual wash program is
activated. If you briefly push and hold the
combination switch beyond the point of
resistance in the direction of arrow B, the
automatic wash program is activated.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield
will no longer be wiped properly. This could Windshield wipers
