Front windscreen washers
2C_WasherSwitch_1
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently toward you to spray washer fluid on the windscreen and to run the wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and wiper operation continues until you release the lever. If the washer does not work, you may need to add washer fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.
When washer fluid is used, in order to reduce any objectionable scent of the washer fluid from entering the cabin, recirculation mode and air conditioning are automatically activated depending on the outside temperature. If you select fresh mode whilst the function is operating, the function resumes after a certain amount of time. It may not work in some conditions such as cold weather or engine OFF.
For more information, refer to the "Climate control additional features" section in this chapter.
When the outside temperature is below freezing, always warm the windscreen using the defroster to help prevent the washer fluid from freezing on the windscreen and obscuring your vision that could lead to a collision and serious injury or death. Always use appropriate washer fluids in the winter season or cold weather.
To prevent damage:
-
Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty or when the windscreen is dry.
-
Do not attempt to move the wipers manually.
