Starting windscreen and headlamp washers
Important
Avoid activating the washer system when it is frozen or the washer reservoir is empty, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the pump.
Headlamp washing
When activating windscreen washing, the headlamps are also cleaned automatically according to a defined interval, when the headlamps are switched on.
Reduced washing
If only
approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid remains in the reservoir and the message, Washer fluid
Refill washer fluid, level low, together with the
symbol, is shown in the driver display, then the supply of washer fluid to the headlamps is switched off. This is to prioritise cleaning the windscreen and the visibility through it. The headlamps are only washed if main or dipped beam is switched on.
