Wipers and washers
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.
Wiper modes
The front wiper has an automatic mode as well as multiple manual speeds.
The rear wiper can be manually turned on and off, or you can set it to automatically activate when reversing.
Each wiper mode has a different effect on the way the wipers work, 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. The car resets the mode selection between drives, with automatic mode being the 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.
Important
Maintenance, refilling and replacing
- Clean the wiper blades regularly.
- Replace the wiper blades if they show signs of wear.
- Your car tells you when it's time to refill the washer fluid. Refill washer fluid when prompted by the car.
- Avoid using the wipers without lubrication from either rain or washer fluid. It can cause wear or damage.
Car wash safety
Turn the automatic mode off when you enter a car wash. Otherwise, the rain sensor will cause the wipers to activate, which could lead to damage.
