Wipers & Washers

WINDSCREEN WASHERS
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel - the washers operate
immediately. After a short delay, the wipers will commence
operating in conjunction with the washers, both functions
continuing until the lever is released.
Note that the wipers continue operating for a further three wipes
after the lever is released.
The number of wipes can be adjusted to either 2 or 4 by an MG
Rover dealer.
If the washers fail to deliver the screen wash solution (dirt or ice
may have blocked the jets), release the lever immediately. This will
prevent the wipers from operating, and the consequent risk of
visibility being impaired by dirt smearing across the unwashed
windscreen.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS*
When the headlights are illuminated, the headlight washers
operate automatically in conjunction with every fifth operation of
the windscreen washers.
REAR SCREEN WIPER AND WASHER (Tourer
models only)
1. Rotate the switch clockwise to the first position: after three
initial wipes the wiper continues operating intermittently.
2. Rotate the switch further clockwise, to the second position
and hold against spring pressure: both wiper and washer
operate continuously while the switch is held in this position.
Screen washing ceases as soon as the switch is released but
intermittent wiping continues until the switch is returned to
the off position.
3. Rotating the switch anti-clockwise to the third position
provides the same features described in 2 (above).
NOTE: If reverse gear is selected while the windscreen wipers are switched
on, the tailgate wiper will operate automatically for three wipes.
