Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due

to optical influences and the windshield

becoming dirty in dry weather conditions,

the windshield wipers may be activated

inadvertently. This could then damage the

windshield wiper blades or scratch the

windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch

off the windshield wipers in dry weather.

In the Ä or Å position, the appropriate

wiping frequency is set automatically

according to the intensity of the rain. In

the Å position, the rain sensor is more

sensitive than in the Ä position, causing

the windshield wipers to wipe more

frequently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield

will no longer be wiped properly. This could

prevent you from observing the traffic
