Wiper blades and
washer fluid
Together with the washer fluid, the wipers aim
to improve visibility as well as headlamp pattern.
The nozzles for the windscreen wipers are inte-
grated on the top side of the wiper arm. Washer
fluid is ejected when window washing is acti-
vated and the wiper arms start to move.
The fact that the nozzles are integrated in the
wiper arm helps to bring about more effective
window washing at different speeds and in vari-
ous weather conditions, e.g. strong winds. It
may also reduce the risk of obscuring the driv-
er's vision, which is otherwise common when
washing the windscreen in the traditional way.
Integrated nozzles of this type also result in
more efficient consumption of washer fluid.
The washer nozzles are heated automatically in
cold weather in order to prevent the washer
fluid freezing.
Information indicating that the washer fluid
needs topping up appears in the driver display
when there is approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid
remaining.
