Important for changing wiper blades, when 
folding away from windshield to prevent 
blades from sticking when ice forms, etc. 

1.

Switch off the engine and remove the 
remote control unit from the ignition 
lock 

2.

Press the wiper lever up and maintain 
pressure for about 3 seconds until the 
wipers are roughly vertical – this is the 
fold-out position. 

After folding the wipers back against the 
windshield you will need to reactivate the 
wiper system: 

1.

Insert the remote control unit to activate 
the radio mode in the ignition lock 

2.

Apply brief upward pressure to the 
wiper lever. The wipers return to their 
retracted position and are ready for 
normal operation. 

To prevent damage to the wipers, 
always fold them back against the 

windshield before switching on either the 
radio mode or the ignition.

Capacity: 6.3 US quarts (6 liters). 

Fill with water and – if required – with a 
washer antifreeze, according to manufac-
turer's recommendations. 

We recommend that you mix the 
washer fluid before adding it to the 

reservoir.

<

 

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

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

The programmable cruise control is avail-
able for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph 
(30  km/h) and higher. The vehicle maintains 
and stores the speed that you set using the 
lever mounted on the steering column. 

You can also use the multilevel preset 
mode to store 6 desired speeds for later 
selection with the lever on the steering 
column, refer to page 

This feature assists you in quickly adapting 
the vehicle speed to specific road condi-
tions, e.g. changes in speeds limits.  

Do not use the cruise control when 
driving on winding roads, in case of 

heavy traffic or poor road conditions – 
snow, rain, ice, loose road surface – that do 
not permit a constant speed.

<

 

Press 1 or pull 2 lever as far as the detent. 
The system maintains and stores the cur-
rent vehicle speed.
