Windscreen wipers
Switching the windscreen wipers
on/off
!
Do not operate the windscreen wipers
when the windscreen is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windscreen can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place
when the windscreen is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the wind-
screen wipers in dry weather conditions,
always operate them using washer fluid.
!
Make sure that the windscreen wipers are
free of ice. Otherwise the wiper motor may
overheat.
!
If the windscreen wipers leave smears on
the windscreen after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may
be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windscreen with washer fluid after an auto-
matic car wash.
!
Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
screen becomes dirty in dry weather con-
ditions, the windscreen wipers may be
activated inadvertently. This could dam-
age the windscreen wiper blades or scratch
the windscreen.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windscreen wipers in dry weather.
