Getting started Driving Intermittent wiping Only switch on intermittent wiping under wet weather conditions or in the presence of precipitation. When you select intermittent wiping, the rain sensor is activated. The rain sensor automatically sets a suitable wiping interval depending on the wetness of the sensor surface. Turn the combination switch to position I. After the initial wipe, pauses between wipes are automatically controlled by the rain sensor. Single wipe Press the combination switch briefly in direction of arrow 1 to the resistance point. The windshield wipers wipe one time without washer fluid. Wiping with windshield washer fluid Push the combination switch in direction of arrow 1 past the resistance point. The windshield wipers operate with washer fluid. i Intermittent wiping is interrupted when the vehicle is at a standstill and a front door is opened. This protects persons getting into or out of the vehicle from being sprayed. Intermittent wiping will be continued when all doors are closed and the gear selector lever is in drive position D or reverse gear R or the wiper setting is changed using the combination switch ! Do not leave windshield wipers in intermittent setting when the vehicle is taken to an automatic car wash or during windshield cleaning. Windshield wipers will operate in the presence of water sprayed on the windshield, and windshield wipers may be damaged as a result. i To prevent smears on the windshield, or noisy/chattering wiper blades, wipe with windshield washer fluid every now and then even when it is raining. For information on filling up the washer reservoir, see "Windshield/rear window washer system and headlamp cleaning system" ( page 275). 59
