The heater only works when the engine is running.
The heater automatically switches off after approximately 10 minutes.
If the heater of the motor is switched off with the heater turned on and then
started again within 15 minutes again, the heater is continued. The start of the
time limit for the Auto Off is counted before switching off the engine already
from switching on the heater.
For the sake of the environment
The heater should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free
from mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on
fuel economy.
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the heater switches off automatically, in order
to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 160, Auto-

The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet is closed.

Automatic wiping/washing for the windscreen 
The wash system operates immediately, the windscreen wipers wipe some-
what later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper operate simultaneous-
ly at a speed of more than 120 km/h.
Letting go of the operating lever will cause the windscreen wash system to
stop and the wipers to continue for another 1 to 3 wiper strokes (depending on
the spraying duration).
Automatic wiping/washing for the rear window 
The wash system operates immediately, the wiper wipes somewhat later.
Letting go of the operating lever will cause the windscreen wash system to
stop and the wiper to continue for another 2 to 3 wiper strokes (depending on
the spraying duration). The operating lever remains in position 6
.
Winter setting of the windscreen wiper
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wip-
ers in winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
› Switch on the windscreen wipers.
› Switch off the ignition.
The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which they were when
switching off the ignition.
The service position can also be used as a winter position » page 181, Replac-
ing the windscreen wiper blades .
Note
■
If the operating lever is in the position 2 or 3 and the speed of the vehicle
drops below 4 km/h, the wiping speed is switched to a lower wiping level. The
original setting is restored step by step when the speed of the vehicle exceeds
8 km/h.■
The rear window is wiped once automatically if the windscreen wipers are on
when reverse gear is selected. The function can be activated/deactivated in
the Infotainment system » Infotainment user manual , chapter Vehicle settings
(CAR button) .
Headlight cleaning system
Read and observe
and on page 68 first.
After the ignition is switched on the headlights are always cleaned at the first
and after every tenth spray of the windscreen (setting
5
» Fig. 51 on page 68 ),
when the low beam is switched on.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight
lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guide-
lines must be observed » page 144, Headlight glasses .
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any
snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be
cleared with a de-icing spray.
CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand – risk of
damage.
Note
The headlamp cleaning system works at an ambient temperature of about -12 °
C to + 39 ° C.

recommend you do not use seat heater on the driver or front passenger
seat. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the legs which
are difficult to heal. If the seat heater is used, we recommend to make reg-
ular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that the body
can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor,
who can evaluate your specific condition. 73Seats and headrests
