Switching the windshield wiper on/
off
! Do not operate the windshieldw ipers
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 weathe rconditions, always
use washer fluid when operating the
windshield 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 rain/light sensor:
Switch the wipers off in dry weather.
Otherwise, dirt or optical effects may cause
undesired windshield wiper sweeps. This
could then damage the windshield wiper
blades or scratch the windshield.
The windshield will no longer be wiped
properly if the wiper blades are worn. Replace
the wiper blades twice a year (Y page 103),
ideally in spring and fall. Combination switch Windshield wipers

speeds:
0W indshield wipers off
II ntermittent wipe

III Rapid wipe
i Canada only:
If the windshield wipers are switched on
and you stop the vehicle, the windshield
wipe rspeed is reduced. For example, if you
have selected level IIand stop the vehicle,
wiping continues with intermitten twipe
while the vehicle is stationary. If
intermitten twipe is selected, the intervals
become longer.
Vehicles with arain and light sensor:
you can use level Ias the universal setting.
The rai nand light sensor sets the
appropriate wiping frequency
automatically, according to the intensity of
the rain. Whe nyou stop the vehicle, levels
III and IIare switched down to level I
automatically.
The windshield wiper will return to the
original level when you drive faster than
5 mph (8 km/h) again. You can adjust the sensitivity of the rain and
light sensor using the on-board computer
(Y
page 189).
