The left wiper is partially concealed by
the hood. In order to bring the wipers to
roughly a vertical position, this is impor-
tant for changing the wiper blades or to
fold the wipers out during frosty
weather, for example:

With the lever in position 1, switch off
the ignition as soon as the wipers
come to a stop.

If equipped with a rain sensor:

1. Switch on the wipers with the lever in

position 1, 2 or 4

2. When the wipers are approx. vertical,

switch the ignition off.

For changing the wiper blades, refer to
page

158

Fold the wipers back down onto
the windshield before you turn the

ignition key to position 1 or 2 again. If
you do not, they could be damaged.

Intermittent mode

Not on vehicles with rain sensor.

You can set the wipe interval to four
stages with serrated dial 7.
In addition, the wipe interval is varied
automatically depending on road
speed.

Rain sensor

The rain sensor is positioned on the
windshield, directly in front of the inte-
rior rearview mirror.

To activate the rain sensor:
Move the lever to position 1 as of igni-
tion key position 1. The wipers travel
once across the windshield, regardless
of the weather conditions.

You can leave the lever permanently in
position 1. It is then only necessary to
activate the rain sensor as of ignition
key position 1.
To do this, turn serrated dial 7 briefly.

To adjust the sensitivity of the rain sen-
sor:
Turn serrated dial 7.

Deactivating the rain sensor:
Move lever to position 0.
