Washer fluid is sprayed onto the windshield and
the wipers are operated for a short time.
When the vehicle lighting system is switched
on, the headlamps are cleaned at regular and
appropriate intervals.

Do not use the washers if there is any
danger that the fluid will freeze on the

windshield. If you do, your vision could be
obscured. Antifreeze should therefore be
added to the fluid, refer to Washer fluid.
Do not use the washers when the washer fluid
reservoir is empty, otherwise you will damage
the washer pump.

Windshield washer nozzles

The windshield washer nozzles are heated
automatically

while the engine is running or

the ignition is switched on.

Washer fluid

Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.
Therefore, keep it away from ignition

sources and only store it in the closed original
container that is kept out of reach of children,
otherwise there is a risk of personal injury.
Comply with the instructions on the con-
tainer.

Washer fluid filler neck

Only refill washer fluid when the engine is
cool to avoid contact with hot engine

parts. Otherwise, fluid spills constitute a fire
hazard and a risk to personal safety.

All washer nozzles are supplied with washer
fluid by the same reservoir.
Fill with water and, if required, with a washer
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

Mix the water and antifreeze before filling
the washer fluid reservoir to make sure

the correct concentration is maintained.

Cruise control*

The concept

You can use the cruise control feature begin-
ning at approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. The car then
stores and maintains the speed that you specify
using the lever on the steering column.

Do not use cruise control when driving at
constant speed is prevented by adverse

conditions, e.g. winding roads, dense traffic or
poor road conditions due to, e.g., snow, rain, ice
or loose surfaces. Otherwise you could lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident as a
result.
