Operation

Windshield and Headlight Washer

~1min read

Spraying washer fluid onto the windshield is accompanied by a brief activation of the wipers.

If the exterior lights are on, the headlights are automatically washed at regular intervals.

To avoid reduced visibility, use the washers only if you are sure the fluid will not freeze on the windshield.

Use antifreeze washer fluid, see "Washer Fluid".

Do not operate the washer system when there is no fluid in the reservoir, to prevent damage to the pump.◄

Washer Nozzles

When the engine is running or the ignition is on, the washer nozzle heaters switch on automatically.
