Using knurled wheel

you can select four
intermittent wipe intervals.
The wipe speed is also varied automati-
cally, according to road speed.
Normal wiper speed
The wipers switch automatically to intermit-
tent wipe as the car comes to a halt.
Fast wiper speed
You also select this position by pressing
the lever up beyond the pressure point.
The wipers switch to normal speed when
the car comes to a standstill.
4 Cleaning windscreen and
headlights*
Fluid from the washer tank is sprayed on to
the windscreen and the wipers are oper-
ated for a short time.
When the vehicle's lights are switched on,
the headlights are cleaned together with
the windscreen at practical intervals.
Only operate the washers and
cleaning equipment if you are certain
that the fluid will not freeze to the wind-
screen and interfere with the view ahead.
Antifreeze should therefore be added to the
fluid; see page 67.
Do not run the washer systems if the fluid
reservoir is empty, or the washer pump will
be damaged.

Windscreen washer jets
The windscreen washer jets and the wind-
screen around the rest position of the
wipers are heated automatically while the
ignition is switched on.
Rain sensor*
The rain sensor is mounted on the wind-
screen, directly ahead of the inside mirror.
Activating the rain sensor
With ignition in radio position onwards,
briefly press the button, see arrow. The
indicator light comes on. In any event, the
wipers will now cross the windscreen once.
Adjusting rain sensor sensitivity
Turn knurled wheel
5
.
Deactivating the rain sensor
Briefly press the button again. The indicator
light goes out.
The rain sensor is automatically deac-
tivated when you switch off the igni-
tion.
<
Deactivate the rain sensor in an auto-
matic car wash, to prevent the car's
wipers from operating and being
damaged.
<
Folding the wipers out
This is important e.g. for changing the
wiper blades or for preventing the blades
from freezing to the windscreen.
1. Switch off the engine and take the
remote control out of the ignition lock
2. Press the wiper lever upwards for
approx. 3 seconds until the wipers halt in a
roughly vertical position, from which they
can be folded away from the windscreen.
After folding the wipers back down against
the windscreen, the w iper system must be
reactivated:
