The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet and boot are closed. 
ABC73Lights and visibility

WARNINGDo not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
■ If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. The wipers must be set to the service position to raise them
off the windscreen » page 304.■
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor.
■
Carefully release the frozen-on windscreen wiper blades from the wind-
screen and remove snow and ice.
■
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is the risk of damaging the
windscreen with the windscreen wiper arms.
■
Do not switch on the ignition when the front windscreen wiper arms are fol-
ded down - there is the danger of damaging the bonnet by the windscreen
wiper arms.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wipers will try to push away
the obstacle five times. Thereafter, the wipers will stop to prevent them be-
coming damaged. Turn on the wipers again only after the obstacle has been
removed.
Note
■ Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper
blades.■
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than +10 °C.

Read and observe
and on page 74 first.
Headlights are cleaned under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
The low beam is switched on.
The outside temperature is about -12° C to +39° C.
To clean the headlights, the headlamp is also sprayed after every ten squirts.
The adjustment of the spray interval can be be adjusted by a specialist garage
(maximum after every twentieth spraying of the windscreen).
To ensure the correct functioning of the system, even in winter, this needs to
be regularly cleared of snow and ice (e.g. using the de-icing spray).
Rear view mirror
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror dimming
76
Exterior mirrors
76WARNINGExterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, make objects appear
smaller and further away. Therefore, use the rear-view mirror to determine
the distances to the following vehicles. 75Lights and visibility

WARNING■The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may
leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respi-
ratory system.■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolyte fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes with plenty of water. Seek
medical assistance if required.

12WARNING■ Attach external devices (e.g. navigation system) not in the vicinity of the
mirror with automatic dimming . The illuminated display of an external de-
vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror - it could cause an acci-
