⇒page 26.
WARNING
If the cornering lights are defectiv
e, the headlights are automatically
lowered to the emergency position, wh
ich prevents a possible dazzling of
oncoming traffic. Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and have the car inspected
immediately by a specialist garage.

Windshield wiper and wash systemWindshield wiper You can operate the windscreen wipers and automatic wipe/wash using the windscreen wiper lever.The windscreen wiper lever
⇒
fig. 68
has the following positions:
Finger-operated wiping – If you wish to wipe the windscreen only
briefly
, push the lever into the
sprung position . If you hold the le
ver in the lower position for more
than 1 second, the wiper wipes faster.
Intermittent wiping – Position the lever up into position . – Set with the switch the desired break between the individual wiper
strokes
Slow wipe – Position the lever up into position .
Fa s t w ip e – Position the lever up into position . Automatic wipe/wash for windscreen – Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel into sprung position , the
wash system sprays immediately, the windscreen wiper starts wiping a little later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper operate simultaneously at a speed of more than 120 km/h.
– Release the lever. The windscreen wash system stops and the wiper
continues for another 3 - 4 wiper strokes (depending on the period of spraying of the windscreen). At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper wipes once again* 5 seconds after the last wiper stroke in order to wipe the last drops from the windscreen. This function can be acti-vated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
Rain sensor* – Move the lever into position . – You can set the sensitivity of the sensor individually with switch . Wiping the rear window pane* – Push the lever away from the steering wheel into position - the
widescreen wiper will operate every 6 seconds.
Automatic wipe/wash for the rear window pane* – Press the lever from the steering wheel forward into the sprung posi-
tion , the wash system sprays immediately, the windscreen wiper starts wiping a little later. As long as you hold the lever in this position, the wiper operates as well as the wash system.
– Letting go of the lever will cause the windscreen wash system to stop
and the wiper to continue for another 2 - 3 wiper strokes (depending on the period of spraying of the windscreen).
The lever will stay in
position after releasing it

Switching windscreen wipers off – Move the lever back into its home position .After the windscreen wiper switches off each
time or the igniti
on switches off for
the third time, the position of the windscreen wiper changes, this counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rubbers. The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is switched on and the bonnet is closed
11).
If the intermittent wipe is switched on, the intervals are also controlled depending on speed. The rain sensor* automatically regulates
the break between the individual wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain. The rear window will be
wiped again if the front wi
ndow wipers are on when
reverse gear is selected. The windscreen washer nozzles are heated* when the ignition is switched on.Top up with wash liquid
⇒page 236.
Winter position If the windscreen wipers are in rest posi
tion, they cannot be folded out from the
windscreen. For this reason we recommend
adjusting the windscreen wipers in
winter so that they can be folded out fr
om the windscreen easi
ly. You can set this
rest position as follows:•
Switch on the windscreen wipers.
•
Switch off the ignition. The windscreen wi
pers remain in the position in which
they were when switching off the ignition. You can also use the service position
⇒page 71 as a winter position.
WARNING
•
Properly maintained windscreen wiper
blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving
⇒page 71.
•
Do not use the windscreen
washer system at lo
w temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand.
Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windscreen and re
strict the view to the front.
•
The rain sensor only operates as a support. The driver is not released
from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers manu- ally depending on the visibility conditions.
Caution
In frosty weather, please first of all check whether the windscreen wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen before switching them on. Switching on windscreen wipers when the blades are frozen to the windscreen may result in damage both to the blades and the motor of the windscreen wipers!
Note
•
If the slower or the faster wiper setting is switched on
⇒page 69, fig. 68
and the vehicle speed decreases to below 4
km/h, the lower wiper step is switched
on automatically. At a speed increase of
more than 8 km/h the previous wiper
setting is established again.•
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the obstacle continues to bloc
k the wiper, the wiper stops after 5 cycles,
in order to avoid a damage to the wiper.
Remove the obstacle and and switch on
the wiper again.Headlight cleaning system*The headlights are being cleaned after the
windscreen has been sprayed for the first
time and fifth time, the low beam or ma
in beam are switched on and the wind-
screen wiper lever was held in the position
⇒page 69, fig. 68
for about 1
second.

ch for the bonnet, the windshield wiper and
wash system operates also when the bonnet is opened.
