Fold-out position

The left wiper is partially concealed by
the hood. To bring the wipers to roughly
a vertical position, which is important
when changing the wiper blades or
when folding the wipers out during
frosty weather, for example, proceed as
follows:
> 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 roughly vertical,

switch the ignition off.

For changing the wiper blades, refer to
page

160

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 mode

Not provided in vehicles with rain sen-
sor.

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

Rain sensor

The rain sensor automatically controls
the wiper operation as a function of the
rain intensity. It is located on the wind-
shield, directly in front of the interior
rearview mirror.

To activate the rain sensor:
Move the lever to position 1 as of igni-
tion key position 1. The wipers travel
once across the windshield, regardless
of the weather conditions.

You can leave the lever permanently in
position 1. It is then only necessary to
activate the rain sensor as of ignition
key position 1.
To do this, turn the knurled wheel 7
briefly.
