Wipers and washers

Important

Before activating the wipers, ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen in place and that any snow or ice on the windshield is removed.

Wiper and washer controls

You control the wipers and washers using the right-hand steering wheel stalk.

Washers

The washer nozzles are integrated into the wiper arms for efficient washer fluid distribution. The nozzles are automatically heated in cold conditions to prevent the washer fluid from freezing.

Your vehicle tells you when it's time to refill the washer fluid. When washer fluid is running low, a message appears in the center display.

Rain sensor

If your vehicle detects water on the front windshield when the rain sensor is active, the wipers will start automatically.

You can press the rain sensor button on the stalk to activate the sensor and turn the scroll wheel to adjust its sensitivity. The rain sensor will stay active until you press the button again or select another wiper mode. When the rain sensor is active, you can see a symbol in the instrument panel.

Rear wiper

Use the right-hand steering wheel stalk to manually turn the rear wiper on or off.

The rear wiper automatically activates if the front windshield wipers are active while you are reversing. If you change gear, the rear wiper will stop wiping the rear windshield. In low temperatures, the rear wiper will not automatically activate when the reverse gear is selected.

Important

Maintenance, refilling and replacing

• Clean the wiper blades regularly.
• Replace the wiper blades if they show signs of wear.
• Refill washer fluid when your vehicle tells you to.
• Avoid using the wipers without lubrication from either rain or washer fluid. It can cause wear or damage.

Vehicle wash safety

Turn the rain sensor off when you enter a vehicle wash. Otherwise, the rain sensor will cause the wipers to activate, which could lead to damage.
