Instruments and Controls
IMPORTANT
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.
Headlamp Washers
*
Cars equipped with HID headlamps feature headlamp
washers, these are located in the bumper.
After switching on the headlamps, the first use of the
screenwashers will initiate a headlamp wash. After this,
every fourth screenwash will result in a single headlamp
wash.
Rain Sensor
*
Some models are equipped with a rain sensor fitted to
the inside of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror.
The sensor is able to detect varying amounts of water on
the outside of the windscreen. With the wiper control
set to intermittent, the variable delay will be adjusted
automatically according to the information supplied by the
rain sensor.
Note: If the sensor detects constant rain, the wipers
will operate continuously. The sensitivity of the sensor
can be altered by means of the wiper variable delay.
