ambient conditions (e.g. in unfavourable lighting and weather conditions, as

when passing poorly lit road users, if necessary, when the area in front of

the sensor is covered by an obstacle).

Operation

WARNING

Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures without

heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-

wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.

CAUTION

■

If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from

the windscreen. The wipers must be set to the service position to raise them

off the windscreen 

» page 233

.

■

In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the

ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-

screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,

this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor.

■

Carefully separate frozen windscreen wiper blades from the windscreen and

free from snow and ice.

■

Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is a risk of damage to the

windscreen by the windscreen wiper arms.

■

Do not switch on the ignition when the wiper arm is raised from the wind-

screen - there is a risk of damage to the bonnet by the wiper arms.

Note

Depending on vehicle equipment, the windscreen washer jets can be heated

automatically after starting the engine.

Introduction

WARNING

Exterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, they make objects ap-

pear smaller and further away. Therefore, use the interior mirror whenever

possible for assessing the distances to the vehicles following behind.

WARNING

■

The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may

leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respira-

tory system.

■

If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-

ately wash the affected area for several minutes plenty of water. If neces-

sary get medical assistance.

vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror - it could cause an acci-

dent.

■

The automatic dimming mirror only functions smoothly if the light falling
