Deactivating the rain sensor

Briefly press the button again. The indica-
tor lamp goes out.

The rain sensor is automatically deac-
tivated when you switch off the igni-

tion.

Deactivate the rain sensor when
passing through an automatic car

wash. Failure to do so could result in dam-
age caused by undesired wiper activa-
tion.

Selecting wiper fold-out position

Important for changing wiper blades, when
folding away from windshield to prevent
blades from sticking when ice forms, etc.

Switch off the engine and remove the
remote control from the ignition lock

Press the wiper lever up and maintain
pressure for about 3 seconds until the
wipers are roughly vertical: fold-out
position.

After folding the wipers back against the
windshield you will need to reactivate the
wiper system:

Switch on the radio mode

Apply brief upward pressure to the
wiper lever. The wipers return to their
retracted position and are ready for nor-
mal operation.

To prevent damage to the wipers,
always fold them back against the

windshield before switching on either the
radio mode or the ignition.

Washer fluid

Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.
Always keep it well away from sparks

and open flames, and store it in tightly
closed containers well out of the reach of
children. Always observe the instructions
for use provided on the containers.

We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before adding it to the

reservoir.

Windshield and headlamp washer
system

Capacity: 6.3 US quarts/6 liters.

Fill with water and – if required – with a
washer antifreeze, according to manufac-
turer's recommendations.

Programmable cruise
control

The concept

The programmable cruise control is avail-
able for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph/
30 km/h and higher. The vehicle maintains
and stores the speed that you set using the
lever mounted on the steering column.

You can also use the multilevel preset
mode to store 6 desired speeds for later
selection with the same lever, refer to
page

This feature assists you in quickly adapting
the vehicle speed to specific road condi-
tions, e.g. changes in speeds limits.

Do not use the programmable cruise
control when driving on winding

roads, in heavy traffic or in poor road con-
ditions, e.g. snow, rain, ice, loose road sur-
face, that do not permit a constant speed.
