In vehicles with a rain sensor*, the wipers turn on
in the rain once the vehicle speed exceeds ap-
proximately 2 mph (4 km/h) . The higher the sen-
sitivity of the rain sensor* is set (switch @ to the
right), the earlier the windshield wipers react to
moisture on the windshield. You can deact ivate
the rain sensor mode* in the Infotainment sys-
tem, which switches the intermittent mode on.

A WARNING
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the dr iver. The driver is still responsible for
manually switch ing the wipers on according
to the visibility cond itions.
- The windsh ield may not be treated with wa-
ter-repelling windshield coating agents. Un-
favorable condit ions, such as wetness, dark-
ness, and when the sun is low, can cause in-
creased glare which increases the risk of an
accident. Wiper blade chatter is also possi-
b le.
- Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving

wiper blades.
(D Note
- In the case of frost, check whether the
windshield wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield. Switching on the windshield
wipers can damage the wiper blades!
- Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wiper system must be switched off Clever in
position 0) . This prevents un intentional
switching on and damage to the windshield
wiper system.
{!) Tips
- The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is turned off. Activate the wind·
shield wipers after the ignition is sw itched
back on by moving the windshield wiper lev-
er to any position.
