WARNING
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and venti-
lation system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen
and obscure your view of the road.
CAUTION
If the ignition is switched off with the wind-
screen wipers active, they complete their
wipe before returning to the rest position.
When switching the ignition back on, the
windscreen wiper will continue to operate
at the same wiping level. Ice, snow and oth-
er obstacles on the windscreen may dam-
age the wiper and the windscreen wiper
motor.
●
If necessary, remove snow and ice from
the windscreen wipers before starting your
journey.
●
Carefully lift the frozen windscreen wip-
ers from the glass. CUPRA recommends a
de-icer spray for this operation.
●
Do not switch on the windscreen wipers if
the windscreen is dry. Cleaning with the
windscreen wipers while dry can cause
damage.
●
In icy conditions, always check that the
wiper blades are not frozen to the glass be-
fore using the wipers. In cold weather, it
may help to leave the vehicle parked with
the wipers in service position

Note
●
The windscreen and window wipers only
function when the ignition is switched on
and the bonnet or rear lid, respectively, are
closed.
●
The interval wipe speed varies according
to the vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle
is moving, the more often the windscreen is
cleaned.
●
The rear wiper is automatically switched
on when the windscreen wiper is on and the
car is in reverse gear.
Wiper functions
Windscreen wipers performance in differ-
ent situations
●
If the vehicle is stopped, the activated po-
sition temporarily moves to the previous po-
sition.
●
The air conditioner comes on for approxi-
mately 30 seconds in air recirculation mode
when the windscreen washer is activated,

to prevent the smell of the windscreen wash-
er fluid entering the inside the vehicle.
●
When wiping at intervals, the intervals vary
according to the speed. The higher the vehi-
cle speed the shorter the intervals.
Heated windscreen washer jets*
The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it
does not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
When the ignition is switched on the heated
windscreen washer jets automatically adjust
the heat depending on the ambient temper-
ature.
