Rear window wiper
The windscreen wiper lever operates the windscreen wiper
and the wash and wipe system for the rear window.
Switching on the interval wipe
– Press the lever forwards to position ⇒ fig. 86. The wiper will
wipe the window approximately every 6 seconds.
Switching off the interval wipe function
– Pull the lever back from position towards the steering wheel.
The wiper will continue to function for a short period if you switch
off whilst the wipers are in motion.
Switching on the windscreen wiper and washer system
– Press the lever fully forwards to position ⇒ page 120, fig. 86.
The wash function will start immediately and the wiper will start
with a slight delay. The windscreen wash system will function as
long as you hold the lever in this position.
– Then release the lever. The wiper then wipes for approximately 4
seconds, and then in intervals again.
– Then release the lever. The washer system stops and the wipers
function.
WARNING
• A worn or dirty wiper blade will obstruct visibility and reduce safety.
• Always note the corresponding warnings on ⇒ page 204, “Changing
the front windscreen wiper blades”.
Caution
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper blade is not frozen to the glass
before using the wiper for the first time. If you switch on the wiper when the
wiper blade is frozen to the glass, this could damage both the wiper blade
and the wiper motor.
Note
• The windscreen wiper will only function when the ignition is switched on
and the tailgate is closed.
• In reverse gear, with the windscreen wipers switched on, the rear wind-
screen wiper will make one wipe.
