Automatic rear windscreen wiping when reversing

Engaging reverse gear while the windscreen wipers are switched on initiates rear window wiping. The function stops when reverse gear is disengaged.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop in order to deactivate the function.

 Note

In low outside temperature, the automatic rear window wiping when reversing is deactivated in order to avoid damage to the wiper arm.
