Cleaning the windshield and headlamps
Pull the lever, arrow 4.
The system sprays washer fluid on the windshield and activates the wipers briefly.
When the vehicle lighting system is switched on, the headlamps are cleaned at regular and appropriate intervals.
Do not use the washer system at freezing
temperatures
Do not use the washers if there is any danger
that the fluid will freeze on the windshield; otherwise,
your vision could be obscured. For this
reason, use antifreeze.
Avoid using the washer when the reservoir is empty; otherwise, you could damage the pump.◀
