Windshield wipers
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 col-
lected 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 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 resi-
dues 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. Other-
wise, dirt or optical effects may cause unde-
sired 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 (
Ypage 95), ideally in
spring and fall.

lock.
XTurn the combination switch in the direction
of arrow ;to the appropriate setting

XSingle wipe: push the combination switch
briefly to the pressure point in the direction of arrow :.
XTo wipe with washer fluid: press the com-
bination switch beyond the pressure point in

fied. The windows could fog up more quickly.
The cooling with air dehumidification function is
only available when the engine is running. The
