Headlamp washer*
The headlight washers clean the headlight lenses.
The headlight washers are activated automatically when the windscreen
washer is used and the windscreen wiper lever is pulled towards the steering
wheel Ÿpage 116, fig. 80 for at least 5 seconds – provided the dipped
headlights or main beams are switched on. Clean off stubborn dirt (insects,
etc.) from the headlights at regular intervals, for instance when filling the fuel
tank.
Note
To ensure that the headlight washers work properly in winter, keep the
nozzles in the bumper free of snow and remove any ice with a de-icer spray.
Mirrors
Interior mirror
It is dangerous to drive if you cannot see clearly through the
rear window.
Manual anti-dazzle function for interior mirror
When the rear-view mirror is in standard position, the lever on the lower edge
of the mirror should face forwards. Pull the lever to the back to select the anti-
dazzle function.
Automatic anti-dazzle function for interior mirror
22)
When the ignition is on, the interior mirror will darken automatically
according to the amount of light it receives. The mirror will return to the
normal position if the reverse gear is selected.
