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 ac-
tivated and deactivated in the infotainment sys-
tem, in the vehicle settings menu ›››page35.
Note
The windscreen will be wiped again approx-
imat
ely 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 3 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 obsta-
cl
es that are on the windscreen. The wiper
will stop moving if the obstacle is still block-
ing its path. Remove the obstacle and switch
on the wiper again.
