Headlight cleaning system
The headlights are sprayed briefly if the low beam or main beam are switched on and the windscreen wiper stalk is pulled to position 5 » Fig. 50 on page 63. To clean the headlights, the windshield is also sprayed after every five squirts.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guidelines must be observed » page 132, Headlight lenses.
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be cleared with a de-icing spray.
CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand – there is risk of damage.
Replacing the windscreen wiper blades

Removing the wiper blade
Fitting the wiper blade
Windshield wiper blades in proper condition are essential to obtain good visibility.
Wiper blades should not be allowed to become dirtied by dust, insect remains and preserving wax.
Juddering or smearing of the wiper blades could then be due to wax residues left on the windshield by vehicle washing in automatic vehicle wash systems.
It is therefore important to degrease the lips of the windshield wiper blades after every pass through an automatic vehicle wash system
