The left wiper is partially concealed by 
the hood. In order to bring the wipers to 
roughly a vertical position (this is impor-
tant for changing the wiper blades or to 
fold the wipers out during frosty 
weather, for example):

>

With the lever in position 1, switch off 
the ignition as soon as the wipers 
come to a stop.

If equipped with a rain sensor

:

1 Switch on the wipers with the lever in 

position 1, 2 or 4.

2 When the wipers are approx. vertical, 

switch the ignition off.

For changing the wiper blades, refer to 
page 

.

Fold the wipers back down onto 
the windshield before you turn the 

ignition key to position 1 or 2 again. If 
you do not, they could be damaged.

Intermittent wipe: 

You can set the wipe interval to four 
stages with rotary dial 7. 
In addition, the wipe interval is varied 
automatically depending on road 
speed. 

Rain sensor: 

When the rain sensor is activated, the 
windshield wiper is controlled automati-
cally, depending on the degree of 
wetness of the windshield (in both snow 
and rain). You do not have to be 
concerned with switching the wind-
shield wiper on or off or adjusting the 
wipe interval between intermittent and 
full wipe. Instead, you can concentrate 
fully on the traffic conditions. This is 
especially important under adverse 
weather conditions.
The rain sensor is positioned on the 
windshield, directly in front of the inte-
rior rearview mirror.

To activate the rain sensor:
Move the lever to position 1 with the 
ignition key in position 1 or higher. The 
wipers travel once across the wind-
shield, regardless of the weather 
conditions.
