Wipers and washers

The wipers and washers work together to keep the windscreens clean and clear.

 Important

Before activating the wipers, ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen in place and that any snow or ice on the windscreens is removed.

Wiper and washer controls

Wiper and washer controls on right-hand steering wheel stalk

You control the wipers and washers using the right-hand steering wheel stalk.

Rain sensor

Rain sensor symbol in the driver display.
When the rain sensor is activated, a symbol is shown in the driver display.

If your car detects water on the front windscreen when the rain sensor is active, the wipers will start automatically.

You can press the rain sensor button on the stalk to activate the sensor and turn the scroll wheel to adjust its sensitivity. The rain sensor will stay active until you press the button again or select another wiper mode.

Washers

The washer nozzles are integrated into the wiper arms for efficient washer fluid distribution. The nozzles are automatically heated in cold conditions to prevent the washer fluid from freezing.

Your car tells you when it's time to refill the washer fluid. When washer fluid is running low, a message appears in the centre display.

 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 mode off when you enter a car wash. Otherwise, the rain sensor will cause the wipers to activate, which could lead to damage.
