Windscreen wipers and washers



Introduction

The windscreen wipers and the wash system operate if the ignition is switched

on and the bonnet and boot are closed.

WARNING

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.

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 218

.

■

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 separate frozen windscreen wiper blades from the windscreen and

free from snow and ice.

■

Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is a risk of damage to the

windscreen by the windscreen wiper arms.

■

Do not switch on the ignition when the wiper arm is raised from the wind-

screen - there is a risk of damage to the bonnet by the wiper arms.

Note

Depending on vehicle equipment, the windscreen washer jets can be heated

automatically after starting the engine.

Read and observe   and   on page 65 first.

Headlights are cleaned under the following conditions.

The low beam is switched on.
The outside temperature is about -11° C to +36° C.

To clean the headlights, the headlamp is also sprayed after spraying the wind-

screen every first and tenth time. Setting the spray interval can be carried out

by a specialist garage.
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

WARNING

Exterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, they make objects ap-

pear smaller and further away. Therefore, use the interior mirror whenever

possible, for assessing the distances to the vehicles following behind.

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 respira-

tory system.

■

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.

When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the

mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).

WARNING

■

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-

dent.

■

The automatic dimming mirror only functions smoothly if the light falling

on the sensors is not compromised (e.g. by the sunshade at the back). The

sensors are located on the front and back of the mirror.

Operation

WARNING

If you are sensitive to pain and/or temperature, e.g. through medication, pa-

ralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recommend not to

use the seat heating. 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 must 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 heating for unoccupied seats.

■

Do not switch on the heating for seats which have objects on them (e.g. a

child seat, bag or similar).

■

Do not switch on the heating for seats which have seat covers or protective

covers on them.

Note

■

If the heaters for the rear seats are set to their highest intensity (level 2),

they are automatically switched down to level 1 after 10 minutes.

Introduction

WARNING

■

Do not place anything on the dashboard. These objects might slide or fall

down when driving and may distract you from concentrating on the traffic

– risk of accident!

■

Make sure that while driving no objects can enter the driver's footwell -

they could cause an accident!

■

Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat, except objects de-

signed for this purpose (e.g. child seats) – risk of accident!

■

No objects should be placed in the storage compartments nor in the

drinks holders; the vehicle occupants could be endangered if there is sud-

den braking or the vehicle collides with something.

■

For safety reasons, lockable storage compartments should be closed

while driving - there is a risk of injury from the opened lid or through the

loose objects in the compartment.

■

Make sure no objects protrude from the storage compartments - danger

of injury!

■

Do not exceed the permissible loads for the storage compartments and

pockets - risk of injury and risk of damage to the compartments and pock-

ets!

■

Ash, cigarettes, cigars and the like should only be stored in the ashtray -

danger of fire/burns!

■

The storage compartments, multimedia holder and waste container are

not a substitute for the ashtray and must not be used for such purposes –

risk of fire!

CAUTION

Do not place any large or sharp objects in the storage compartments and

pockets - there is a risk of damage to the compartments and pockets.
