Note
●
When the vehicle stops while the wiper is
on, the wiper switches to operating tempora-
rily at the next lower wiping level.
●
If the driver or passenger door is opened
when the vehicle is stationary, the wipers re-
turn to the starting position and are switched
o. If the door is closed or the wiper lever is
moved within a few seconds, the wiper turns
on again.
●
In winter, the service position of the wipers
can be useful to make it easier to lift the wip-
ers o the windscreen when the vehicle is
going to be left stationary ›››page330.
Wiper functions
Automatic rear window wipe
The rear wiper switches on automatically when
the wiper is switched on and reverse gear is en-
gaged. The automatic rear window wiper acti-
vation when engaging reverse gear can be acti-
vated and deactivated in the infotainment sys-
tem, in the vehicle settings menu ›››page39.
Note
The windscreen will be wiped again approx-
imately 5 seconds after the windscreen
washer has been activated, provided the ve-
hicle is moving (“drip” function). If you acti-
vate the wipers less than 10 seconds after
the “drip” function, a new wash sequence will
begin without performing the last wipe. For
the “drip” function to work again, you have to
turn the ignition o and then on again.
Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obstacles
that are on the windscreen. The wiper will
stop moving if the obstacle is still blocking its
path. Remove the obstacle and switch on the
wiper again.
