Problems with the windshield wipers
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
0050
0050Solutions The windshield wiper
jams. Leaves or snow, for example, may be obstructing the windshield
wiper movement. The wiper motor has switched off.
X Stop the vehicle as soon as possible, paying attention to road
and traffic conditions.
X For safety reasons, you should remove the key from the ignition
lock.
X Remove the cause of the obstruction.
X Switch on the windshield wipers again. The windshield wiper
does not move at all. There is a malfunction in the windshield wiper drive.
X Select another wiper speed on the combination switch.
X Have the windshield wipers checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. The washer fluid com-
ing from the spray noz-
zles no longer hits the
center of the wind-
shield. The spray nozzles are misaligned.

Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models
as well as standard and optional equipment of your vehicle that were available at the time of going to print. Country-specific variations are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the described functions.
This also applies to systems and functions
relevant to safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (Y page 25). Overview of climate control systems
Important safety notes
Observe the recommended settings on the
following pages. Otherwise, the windows
could fog up.
Climate control regulates the temperature
and the humidity in the vehicle interior and
filters undesirable substances from the air.
Climate control is only operational when the
engine is running. The system only functions
optimally when the side windows are closed.
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather. In order to cool the
vehicle more rapidly, switch climate control
to air-recirculation mode briefly. This will
speed up the cooling process and the
desired vehicle interior temperature will be reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter can filter out most
particles of dust and completely filters out
pollen. A clogged filter reduces the airflow
into the vehicle interior. For this reason,
you should always observe the interval for
replacing the filter, which is specified in the Maintenance Booklet. As it depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air
pollution, the interval may be shorter than
that stated in the Maintenance Booklet. 112

level. Only change the temperature in small
increments.
R Only use the defrosting function briefly,
until the windshield is clear again.
R Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or
when in a tunnel. The windows could oth-
erwise fog up as no fresh air is drawn into
the vehicle in air-recirculation mode. Overview of climate control systems

intake and air circulation also stop. Only use
this setting for a brief period. Otherwise, the
windows could fog up. Activating/deactivating climate con-
trol via the control panel X

midification function on/off
Important information If you switch off the "Cooling with air dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the vehi- cle will not be cooled (in warm weather) or
dehumidified. The windows could fog up morequickly.
The cooling with air dehumidification function
is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu- midified according to the temperature selec-
ted.
Condensation may appear on the underside
of the vehicle when in cooling mode. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc- tion.
