To operate the tailgate washer: Move the lever
forward to start the tailgate washer. When
less than approximately 1 US qt (1 liter) of
washer fluid remains in the reservoir, the
tailgate window will not be washed.
Tailgate wiper and reverse gear
If the front wipers are on and the car is put
into reverse gear, then the tailgate wiper will
go into intermittent wiping function*.
If the tailgate wiper is already in normal
wiping function, the normal wiping function
will continue.
* Consult your Volvo retailer if you would like
to have this function deactivated.
Water repellent glass–option
The sideview mirrors and side door windows
can be treated with a water repellent coating.
The optional laminated side windows always
have this coating.
The coating improves vision by causing the
water to run off quickly. See page 149 for
information on cleaning this type of glass.
CAUTION!
•
Use only suitable plastic scrapers to
remove ice or snow from the mirrors.
Using a metal ice scraper could damage
the water repellent coating.
•
Use the heating function to remove ice,
snow, or mist from the mirrors.
