Cleaning windscreen and headlights*
Fluid from the washer fluid reservoir is sprayed 
on to the windscreen and the wipers are oper-
ated briefly.
When the car's lights are switched on, the head-
lights are cleaned simultaneously at practical 
intervals.
Only operate the washer systems and 
cleaning equipment if you are certain that 
the fluid will not freeze to the windscreen and 
interfere with the view ahead. Screenwash 
should therefore be added to the fluid, see 
Washer fluid. Do not run the washer systems if 
the washer fluid reservoir is empty, or the 
washer pump will be damaged.

Windscreen washer jets
The windscreen washer jets are heated auto-
matically while the engine is running or the igni-
tion switched on.

Washer fluid
Screenwash for the washer fluid is highly 
flammable. Keep it away from possible 
ignition sources and store it only in the carefully 
sealed original containers, out of reach of chil-
dren. Comply with the instructions on the con-
tainers.

Washer fluid reservoir
When filling with water, to which screenwash 
has been added if required, always follow the 
manufacturer's instructions.
Mix the water and screenwash additive 
before filling the washer fluid reservoir, to 
make sure the correct concentration is main-
tained.

Cruise control*
Principle
You can activate cruise control once you reach 
a speed of approx. 30 km/h or 20 mph. The car 
then memorises and maintains the speed that 
you specify using the lever on the steering col-
umn.
Do not use cruise control if adverse con-
ditions prevent driving at constant speed, 
e.g. winding roads, heavy traffic or poor surface 
conditions such as snow, rain, ice or loose
