Cleaning windshield and headlamps

Pull the lever, arrow

The system sprays washer fluid against the
windshield and activates the wipers for a brief
period.
When the vehicle lighting is switched on, the
headlamps are simultaneously washed at
appropriate intervals.

Do not use the washers if there is any
danger that the fluid will freeze on the

windshield. If you do so, your vision could be
obscured. To avoid freezing, use a washer fluid

antifreeze, refer to Washer fluid. Do not use
washing mechanisms when the washer fluid
reservoir is empty, otherwise you will damage
the washer pump.

Windshield washer nozzles

Both windshield washer nozzles are automati-
cally heated with the engine running or the igni-
tion switched on.

Washer fluid

Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.
Always keep it well away from sparks and

open flames, and store it in tightly closed con-
tainers well out of the reach of children. Always
observe the instructions for use provided on the
containers.

Washer fluid reservoir

All washer jets are supplied from one reservoir.
Fill with water and – if required – with a washer
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

In order to maintain the mixture ratio, mix
the washer fluid before filling.
