Switching the windshield wiper 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 rain/light sensor:
Switch the wipers off in dry weather. Oth-
erwise, 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 prop-
erly if the wiper blades are worn. Replace the
wiper blades twice a year (Y page 108), ide-
ally in spring and fall. Combination switch
