Windscreen wipers
! Vehicles with rain/light sensor:
In dry weather conditions, switch the wind-
screen wipers off. Otherwise, dirt or optical
effects may cause undesired windscreen
wiper sweeps. This could then damage the
windscreen wiper blades or scratch the wind-
screen.
! Switch off the windscreen wipers before you
stop the engine. Otherwise, undesired wiper
sweeps could occur when starting the next
journey. This may damage the wiper blades or
windscreen, especially if the windscreen is
dirty or iced up.
Worn or damaged wiper blades result in smear-
ing on the windscreen.
This can cause faults in vehicles with rain/light
sensors.
