NOTICE

If the ignition is switched off while the windscreen wiper is switched on, the windscreen wiper will continue to wipe on the same setting when the ignition is switched on again. Frost, snow and other obstructions on the windscreen can cause damage to the windscreen wipers and wiper motor.

Remove any snow and ice from the wipers and the windows before setting off.

Carefully loosen wiper blades that have become frozen onto the windscreen. Volkswagen recommends using a de-icer spray for this.

NOTICE

Do not switch on the windscreen wipers when the window is dry. Using the wiper blades when the rear windscreen is dry could cause damage to the rear windscreen.

The windscreen wipers will only function when the ignition is switched on and the bonnet and tailgate are closed.

The rear window wiper is switched on automatically if the front windscreen wipers are switched on and reverse gear is engaged.
