Windscreen wipers and washers
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers
72
Headlight cleaning system
73
The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet and boot are closed 1)
.
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 195.
WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving » page 195.■
Do 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.
AB1)
On vehicles which do not have a contact switch for the bonnet, the windshield wiper and wash system
operates also when the bonnet is opened.

Page 75 of 232
Automatic rear window wiping can be activated / deactivated via the MAXI
DOT display in the menu item Rear wiper
» page 47 .WARNINGAutomatic wiping during rain is only a support. The driver is not released
from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers man-
ually depending on the visibility conditions.
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 reduced. The original wiping speed 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.
Headlight cleaning system
Read and observe
and on page 71 first.
To clean the headlights, the headlamp is also sprayed after every five squirts.The headlight washer system works 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 ensure the correct functioning of the system, even in winter, this needs to be regularly cleared of snow and ice, e.g. free with a de-icing spray.
CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand – risk of
damage!
Rear mirror
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror dimming
73
Exterior mirrors
74WARNING■ Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
WARNINGThe mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath appara-
tus.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.

Page 76 of 232
The mirror dimming is controlled by the light incident on the sensors on the
front and back of the mirror.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Do not attach external devices (e.g. navigation systems) on to the windscreen or in the vicinity of the interior mirror »
.
WARNING■
The illuminated display of an external navigation device can lead to op-
erational faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.■
Automatic mirror dimming only operates correctly if the light striking the
sensor is not affected by other objects.

signed for this purpose (e.g. child seats) – risk of accident!
Note
■ After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of
the backrest angle.■
For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seat position in the electric
seat memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the
seat backrest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.

lights in the switch.
WARNINGIf you have impaired sensitivity to pain and/or temperature, e.g. through
medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we do not recommend using the seat heating. There is a possibility of suffering from
burns that are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recommend
to make regular 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.
CAUTION
The following instructions should be observed to avoid damage to the seats.■Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■
Do not switch on the seat heating for any seats that are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seat in question has objects attach-
ed to or placed on it, for example a child seat, a bag, etc.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seat in question has additional pro-
tective covers or protective covers on it.
Note
If the on-board voltage decreases, the seat heating switches off automatically
