windscreen washers
Introduction The windscreen wipers and windscreen
washers only work when the ignition is
switched on.
The speed of the automatic wipe in case of
rain is automatically adjusted according to
the intensity of the rainfall.The rear window is wiped once if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on and reverse
gear is engaged.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid
››› page 139. WARNING
● Make sure the blades ››› page 162 are in
perfect condition for good visibility and safe
driving.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road. CAUTION
● During winter, always check that the wind-
screen wiper blades are not frozen to the
glass before each trip or before switching on
the ignition. If you switch on the windscreen
wipers when the wiper blades are frozen to
the glass, this could damage both the wiper
blades and the wiper motor.
● If the ignition is switched off when the
windscreen wipers are on, they will start op-
erating in the same mode when the ignition
is switched back on. The wiper blades may be
frozen to the glass at low temperatures when
the ignition is switched off.
● Carefully separate the frozen wipers from
the windscreen or rear window. 68

Operation
Switching off the wipers – Move the lever to position 0
››› Fig. 56 . WARNING
The rain sensor may not detect enough rain
to switch on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually
when water on the windscreen obstructs visi-
bility. Note
Do not put stickers on the windscreen in front
of the rain sensor*. This may cause sensor
disruption or faults. Headlight washer system*
The headlight washers operate briefly if the
dipped headlights or headlights are on and
the lever is moved to position

The he a
dlight washer system also operates
every 10 windscreen wash cycles.
Clean off stubborn dirt (insects, etc.) from the
headlights at regular intervals, for instance
when filling the fuel tank. Please observe the
following indications ›››
page 126, Head-
lights.
To en

sure the system works properly in win-
ter, keep the nozzle holders free of snow and
remove any ice with a de-icer spray. CAUTION

● Convex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors give
a larger field of vision. However, they make
objects appear smaller and further away than
they really are. For this reason, you should
not rely on these rear vision mirrors for judg-
ing the distance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mir-
ror to estimate distances to vehicles behind
you. Note
● Exterior mirrors are only heated when the
engine is running. 70

Seats and head restraints
●
Do not touch the exterior mirrors when the
heating system is running.
● If the electrical adjustment should ever fail
to operate, the rear vision mirrors can be ad-
justed by hand by pressing the edge of the
mirror glass.
● Visit the technical service in the event of a
fault in the electrical rear vision mirror ad-
justment system. Seats and head restraints
Adjusting seats and head
restraints
Introduction Set the driver seat in such a way that the
pedals can be fully depressed with your legs
slightly bent.
Set the driver seat backrest so that you can
reach the upper point of the steering wheel
with your arms slightly bent.
The correct seat position is very important
for:
●
reaching all of the controls safely and
quickly,
● a relaxed posture that will not produce fati-
gue,
● maximum protection from the seat belts
and airbag system WARNING
● Adjust the driver seat only when the vehi-
cle is stationary. Risk of accident!
● Be careful when adjusting the front seats!
Careless and uncontrolled adjustment can
cause injuries. ●
The backrests must not be reclined too far
back while driving. This could limit the effect
of the seat belts and the airbag system. Risk
of injury!
● Never transport more than the permitted
amount of people in your vehicle.
● Every occupant in the vehicle must properly
fasten and wear the seat belt belonging to
his or her seat. Children must be protected
with an appropriate child restraint system
››› page 24, Transporting children safety.
● The front seats, head restraints and seat
belts must always be adjusted to the size of
the vehicle occupant to provide you and your
passengers with the greatest possible protec-
tion.
● Your feet should remain in the footwell
while the vehicle is moving; never rest them
on the dash panel, on the window or on the
seat! This also applies to passengers. An in-
correct sitting position exposes you to an in-
creased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position!
● It is important for the driver and front pas-
senger to keep a distance of at least 25 cm
from the steering wheel and dash panel. Fail-
ure to respect the minimum distance means
that the airbag will not protect you. Risk of
fatal injury if triggered!
● Objects must not be placed in the footwell,
as they could move to the area of the pedals
in the event of a braking manoeuvre or
change of direction. This would prevent the » 71Technical specifications

legs that are difficult to heal. If you still want
to use the heated seat, take frequent breaks
on long journeys so that the body can recover
from the trip. Ask your doctor about your par-
ticular situation. CAUTION
● To avoid damaging the heating elements,
do not kneel on the seat or apply sharp pres-
sure at a single point to the seat cushion or
backrest.
