the inside rearview mirror.
Deactivate the rain sensor when passing
through an automatic car wash. Failure to
do so could result in damage caused by undes-
ired wiper activation.<
Activating
As of ignition key position 1 move the lever to

windshield, regardless of the weather condi-

Cleaning rear window
You can leave the lever permanently in posi-
tion 1 and then only need to activate the rain
sensor as of ignition key position 1. To do so:
Do not use the washers if there is any
danger that the fluid will freeze on the
windshield. If you do so, your vision could be
obscured. To avoid freezing, use a washer fluid
antifreeze, refer to page 90. Do not use the
washers when the reservoir is empty. This
could cause damage to the washer pump.<
