Intermittent wipe:
You can set the wipe interval to four
stages with rotary dial 7. In addition, the
wipe interval automatically adapts to
variations in road speed.
Rain sensor:
When the rain sensor is activated, the
windshield wiper is controlled automati-
cally, depending on the degree of wet-
ness of the windshield (in both snow
and rain). You do not have to be con-
cerned with switching the windshield
wiper on or off or adjusting the wipe
interval between intermittent and full
wipe. Instead, you can concentrate fully
on the traffic conditions. The is espe-
cially important under adverse weather
conditions.
The rain sensor is positioned on the
windshield, directly ahead of the interior
rearview mirror.
To activate the rain sensor:
Move the lever to position 1 with the ig-
nition key in position 1 or higher. The
wipers travel once across the wind-
shield, regardless of the weather condi-
tions.
You can also leave the lever perma-
nently in position 1. It is then only nec-
essary to activate the rain sensor from
ignition key position 1 and higher. To do
this,
> turn rotary dial 7 briefly or
> use either the automatic windshield
washer 5 or the automatic intensive-
action washer 6.
To modify the sensitivity of the rain sen-
sor:
Turn rotary dial 7.
Turn the rain sensor off in auto-
matic car washes. If you do not,
damage may occur if the wipers switch
on unintentionally.<
