Interval wipe for rear window. The wip-
er will wipe the window approximately
every six seconds.

The rear window wash function is acti-
vated by pressing the lever, and the
rear wiper starts simultaneously.
WARNING
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have
warmed the windscreen with the heating
and ventilation system. The windscreen
washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the
windscreen and obscure your view of the
road.
CAUTION
If the ignition is switched off while the wind-
screen wipers are switched on, they com-
plete their wipe and return to the rest posi-
tion. When the ignition is switched back on,
the windscreen wiper will continue to oper-
ate at the same wiping level. Ice, snow and
other obstacles on the windscreen may
damage the wiper and the windscreen wip-
er motor.
●
If necessary, remove snow and ice from
the windscreen wipers before starting your
journey.
●
Do not switch on the windscreen wipers if
the windscreen is dry. Cleaning with the
windscreen wipers while dry can cause
damage.
●
In icy conditions, always check that the
wiper blades are not frozen to the glass be-
fore using the wipers. In cold weather, it
may help to leave the vehicle parked with
the wipers in service position
.
Note
●
The windscreen and window wipers only
function when the ignition is switched on
and the bonnet or rear lid, respectively, are
closed.
●
The rear wiper is automatically switched
on when the windscreen wiper is on and the
car is in reverse gear.
Wiper functions

ent situations
●
If you stop the vehicle with the windscreen
wiper in position 1 or 2, it will automatically

Visibility
change to a lower position speed. The set
speed will be resumed when the vehicle pulls
away.
●
The air conditioner comes on for approxi-
mately 30 seconds in air recirculation mode
when the windscreen washer is activated,
to prevent the smell of the windscreen wash-
er fluid entering the inside the vehicle.
●
When wiping at intervals, the intervals vary
according to the speed. The higher the vehi-
cle speed the shorter the intervals.
Heated windscreen washer jets
The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it does
not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
When the ignition is switched on the heated
windscreen washer jets automatically adjust
the heat depending on the ambient tempera-
ture.
Note
●
The wiper will try to wipe away any ob-
stacles that are on the windscreen. The
wiper will stop moving if the obstacle
blocks its path. Remove the obstacle and
switch the wiper back on again.
●
The windscreen will be wiped again ap-
proximately 5 seconds after the wind-
screen washer has been activated, provi-
ded the vehicle is moving (“drip” function).
If you activate the wipers less than 3 sec-
onds after the “drip” function, a new wash
sequence will begin without performing the
last wipe. For the “drip” function to work
again, you have to turn the ignition off and
then on again.
Rain sensor

Rain sensor sensitive surface
The rain sensor controls the frequency of the
windscreen wiper intervals, depending on the
amount of rain
. The sensitivity of the rain
sensor can be adjusted manually. Manual

.
Move the lever to the required position

:
Rain sensor off.
Rain sensor on; automatic wipe if neces-
sary.
Setting sensitivity level of rain sensor
–
Set control to the right: high sensitivity.
–
Set control to the left: low sensitivity.
When the ignition is switched off and then
back on, the rain sensor remains active and
starts operating again when the windscreen
wipers are in position
and the vehicle is
travelling at more than 16 km/h (10 mph).
Modified behaviour of the rain sensor
Possible causes of faults and mistaken read-
ings
on the sensitive surface
of
the rain sensor include:
●
Damaged wipers: a film of water on the
damaged blades may lengthen the activa-
tion time, reduce the washing intervals or re-
sult in a fast and continuous wipe.
●
Insects: insects on the sensor may trigger
the windscreen wiper.

Operation
●
Salt on the road: in winter, salt spread on
the roads may cause an excessively long
wipe when the windscreen is almost dry.
●
Dirt: dry dust, wax, coating on glass (Lotus
effect) or traces of detergent (car wash) may
reduce the effectiveness of the rain sensor or
make it react more slowly, later or not at all.
●
Windscreen crack: the impact of a stone
will trigger a single wipe cycle with the rain
sensor on. Next the rain sensor detects the re-
duction in the sensitive surface area and
adapts accordingly. The behaviour of the
sensor will vary with the size of the damage
caused by the stone.
WARNING
The rain sensor may not detect enough rain
to switch on the wipers.
●
If necessary, switch on the wipers man-
ually when water on the windscreen ob-
structs visibility.
Note
●
Regularly clean the sensitive surface of
the rain sensor
(arrow) and
check for possible damage to the wiper
blades.
●
To remove wax and coatings, we recom-
mend a window cleaner containing alco-
hol.
●
Do not put stickers on the windscreen in
front of the rain sensor. This may cause
sensor disruption or faults.
Mirrors
Interior mirror anti-dazzle function
Rear view mirror with automatic anti-daz-
zle function
The anti-dazzle function is activated every
time the ignition is switched on.
When the anti-dazzle function is enabled, the
interior rear vision mirror will darken
auto-
matically
according to the amount of light it
receives. The anti-dazzle function is cancel-
led if reverse gear is engaged.
WARNING
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
rear vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte flu-
id may leak. This could cause irritation to
the skin, eyes and respiratory organs. If you
come into contact with this liquid, it must
be rinsed with large quantities of water. If
necessary, get medial help.
CAUTION
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
rear vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte flu-
id may leak. This liquid attacks plastic sur-
faces. Clean it with a wet sponge as soon
as possible.
Note
●
If the light falling on the interior mirror is
obstructed (e.g. with the sun blind), the an-
ti-dazzle mirror with automatic adjustment
will not operate perfectly.
●
When the interior lights are on or reverse
gear engaged, the mirrors do not darken
with automatic adjustment for anti-dazzle
position.
●
If you have to stick any type of sticker on
the windscreen, do not do so in front of the
sensors. Doing so could prevent the anti-
dazzle function from working well or even
from working at all.

Fold the rearview mirrors when locking the
vehicle
In the infotainment system, using the function
button
> Settings > Mirrors and
wipers > Mirrors
, the exterior mirrors can
be selected to fold in when the vehicle is
parked and locked
.
When the vehicle is locked with the remote
control, the exterior mirrors are retracted au-
tomatically. When the vehicle is opened with
the remote control, the exterior mirrors are
deployed automatically.
WARNING
Convex or wide-angle exterior mirrors give
a larger field of vision. However, they make
objects look smaller and further away than
they really are. If you use these mirrors to
estimate the distance to vehicles behind
you when changing lane, you could mis-
judge the distance. Risk of accident!
WARNING
Fold and unfold the exterior mirror, taking
care to avoid injuries.
●
Only fold or unfold the exterior mirror
when there is no-one in the way of the mir-
ror.
●
When moving the mirror, take care not to
trap fingers between the mirror and the
mirror bracket.
CAUTION
●
If for any reason (e.g. a bump when ma-
noeuvring) one of the rear view mirrors is
knocked out of position, the mirrors must
first be fully retracted with the electric
control. The rear view mirror must not be
placed by hand in the starting position, as
the folding mechanism can be damaged.
●
Before washing the vehicle in an auto-
matic car wash, please make sure to fold
the exterior mirrors in to prevent them from
being damaged. Electrically retractable
exterior mirrors must not be folded in or out
by hand, always use the electrical power
control.

Headrest
Introduction
The possibilities for the adjustment and disas-
sembly of the headrests are described below.
Always make sure that the seats are correctly
adjusted
.
All seats are equipped with a headrest. The
rear headrests have been designed exclu-
sively for the corresponding seat of the sec-
ond or third row. Therefore, never mount them
on any other seat.
Correct adjustment of headrest
Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge is
at the same level as the top of your head and
under no circumstances below eye level.
Keep the back of your head always as close
to the headrest as possible.
»
131
Operation
In vehicles with horizontally adjustable headr-
ests on the front seats, move the headrest as
close as possible to the back of the head.
Adjusting the headrest for short people
Lower the headrest completely, even if your
head is below its upper edge. In the lowest
position, there may be a small distance be-
tween the headrest and the backrest.
Adjusting the headrest for tall people
Push the headrest up as far as it will go.
WARNING
If travelling with the headrests removed or
improperly adjusted, the risk of severe or
fatal injuries in the event of accidents and
sudden braking or manoeuvres increases.
●
Always travel with the headrest correctly
installed and adjusted.
●
To decrease the risk of cervical injuries in
the event of an accident, adjust the head-
rest correctly based on your height, always
making sure that its upper edge is at the
same height as the top of the head, but
never below eye level. Keep the back of
your head always as close to the headrest
as possible and centred.
●
Never adjust the headrest while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
●
Under no circumstances should the rear
passengers travel while the headrests are
in the non-use position.
CAUTION
When assembling and disassembling the
headrests, do not let them meet the top lin-
ing of the vehicle, the back rest of the front
seat or other parts of the vehicles. If not,
this could damage the vehicle.

nism of the seat.

the hinges of the backrest of the front pas-
senger seat. This would cause the backrest
not to be locked in an upright position when
lifting it.

Once the backrest is up, it must be cor-
rectly engaged in an upright position. Oth-
erwise, it could move unexpectedly and
cause severe injuries.
WARNING

rest, its anchor points and hinges are left
uncovered and may cause severe injuries in
the event of a sudden brake or accident.
●
When the passenger seat backrest is
lowered nobody else can travel in the cor-
responding seats (not even a child).
●
When the passenger seat backrest is
lowered, the only permitted seat is the rear
seat behind the driver seat. This also ap-
plies to children travelling on a child seat.
