ts are defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a
possible dazzling of oncoming traffic.
Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and have the car inspected immediatel
y 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. 57
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 lever in the lo
wer position for more than 1 second, the
wiper wipes faster.
Intermittent wiping– Position the lever up into position . – Set with the switch the desired brea
k between the individual wiper strokes.
Slow wipe– Position the lever up into position .Fast wipe– 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 wind-
screen). 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 activated/deacti
vated 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 position , the
wash system sprays immediately, the windscreen wiper starts wiping a little later. A s l o n g a s y o u h o l d t h e l e v e r i n t h i s p o s i t i o n, th e w i p e r o p e ra t e s a s w e l l a s t h e w a s h 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 ignition switches off for the
third time, the position of the windscreen wiper changes, this counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rubbers.

9).
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 window 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 214.
Winter position If the windscreen wipers are in rest positi
on, they cannot be folded out from the wind-
screen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wipers in winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily. You can set this rest position as follows:•
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. You can also use the service position
⇒page 65 as a winter position.
WARNING
•
Properly maintained wind
screen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving
⇒page 65.
•
Do not use the windscreen washer sy
stem at low 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 manually depending on the visibility conditions.
Caution
In frosty weather, please firs
t 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 63, fig. 57
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 windscre
en, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the obstacle continues to block
the wiper, the wiper stops after 5 cycles, in
order to avoid a damage to the wiper. Re
move the obstacle and and switch on the
wiper again.Automatic rear window wiper*If the windshield wiper lever is in the posi
tion or , the rear window wiper carries
out a wiping process every 30 seconds or
10 seconds at a speed above 5 km/h.
When the rain sensor* is active (the lever
is in the position ) the function is only
active if the front window wipers continue
to operate (no break between each wiping
process). Activation/deactivation The function of the automatic rear window wiper is activated/deactivated in the infor- mation display* in the menu: „

Note
The function of the automatic rear window
wiper is only valid for vehicles which are
equipped with the information display*. The function is activated in the factory.

a contact switch for the bonnet, the windshield wiper and wash
system operates also when
