WARNING

Without adequate frost protection, the washer fluid can freeze on the windscreen and obscure your view of the road.

In winter temperatures, the windscreen washer system should only be used when adequate frost protection has been added.

Never use the windscreen washer system at winter temperatures before the windscreen has been heated by the ventilation system. This could lead to the anti-freeze mixture freezing on the windscreen and restrict the driver's vision.

WARNING

Worn or dirty windscreen wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe injuries.

Windscreen wiper blades should therefore always be changed if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the windscreen properly.

NOTICE

In icy conditions, always check that the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass before using the wipers. When parking the vehicle in cold weather, it may be helpful to leave the front windscreen wipers in the service position .
