Washer fluid is sprayed onto the windshield and
the wipers are operated briefly.
When the vehicle lighting system is switched on,
the headlamps are cleaned at regular and
appropriate intervals.
In cars equipped with an alarm system, the
headlamps cannot be cleaned when the hood is
open.

Do not use the washers when the washer
fluid reservoir is empty; otherwise, you will

damage the washer pump.
Only use the washers if the hood has been com-
pletely closed; otherwise, the headlamp washer
system may be damaged. Do not use the wash-
ers if there is any danger that the fluid will freeze
on the windshield. If you do, your vision could be
obscured. For this reason, use antifreeze.

Window washer nozzles

The window washer nozzles are heated auto-
matically while the engine is running or the
ignition is switched on.

Washer fluid

Washer fluid is flammable. Keep it away
from ignition sources, only store it in the

closed, original container, and keep out of reach
of children; otherwise, there is a danger of
injury. Comply with the instructions on the
container.

Washer fluid reservoir

Only refill washer fluid that contains
antifreeze 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.

Fill with water and, if required, with a washer
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's
recommendations.

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

the correct concentration is maintained.
