Wiper and washer controls
You can control the wipers and washers using the scroll wheel and buttons on the left-hand steering wheel stalk.
The front washer nozzles are located on the underside of the bonnet, at the bottom of the windscreen. The rear washer nozzle is on the underside of the roof spoiler, above the rear windscreen.
Front wiper modes
The front wiper has an automatic mode as well as multiple manual speeds. Each wiper mode sets a different speed for the wiper movements, so you need to select the appropriate mode for the conditions you are driving in. You can see the current wiper mode in the display. Between drives, the car resets to automatic mode by default.
When automatic mode is active, the car uses information from its rain sensor to activate the wipers and control their speed. You can change the rain sensor sensitivity in settings and the quick controls view. When the rain sensor is active, you can see a symbol in the display.
Rear wiper
Use the left-hand steering wheel stalk to manually turn the rear wiper on or off. The driver information area of the display shows whether the rear wiper is active or not.
You can also enable a setting to allow the rear wiper to activate automatically when you are reversing the car. When this setting is enabled via the display, the rear wiper automatically activates if the front windscreen wipers are active while you are reversing. If you change gear, the rear wiper will stop wiping the rear windscreen.
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 car tells you to.
- Avoid using the wipers without lubrication from either rain or washer fluid. It can cause wear or damage.
Car wash safety
Turn the automatic wiper mode off when you enter a car wash. Otherwise, the rain sensor will cause the wipers to activate, which could lead to damage.
