Starting immediately, use only Windscreen Clear -G 052 164- all-

year-round when replenishing the window wash/wipe system.

Note

♦

Windscreen Clear -G 052 164- protects the spray jets, fluid

reservoir and connecting hoses from freezing.

♦

For all vehicles having fan-type spray jets, the reservoir must

be filled with Windscreen Clear -G 052 164- , as this fluid has

a low viscosity at temperatures below freezing. Otherwise the

complicated spray jet system can become blocked by the

crystallised washer fluid, which affects the spray pattern of the

spray jet. Windscreen Clear -G 052 164- ensures that the fan

type spray jets remain fully functional also at low tempera‐

tures.

♦

Replenish Windscreen Clear -G 052 164- also in the warmer

periods of the year. The powerful cleanser removes wax and

oil residue from the glass.

♦

Frost protection must be guaranteed to approx. -25 °C (ap‐

prox. -35 °C in countries with an arctic climate) in the washer

system.

4.43.2

Window wash/wipe system: Check

spray jet settings and adjust if necessary

Note

♦

If the spray field is uneven due to soiling in the spray jet, re‐

move spray jet “Electrical system” ⇒  Electrical system; Rep.

Gr.  92 ; Removing and installing spray jets for windscreen

washer system “Removing and installing spray jets for wind‐

screen washer system” and rinse with water opposite to di‐

rection of spray.

♦

Then it is permitted to blow out opposite to direction of spray

with compressed air.

Caution

♦ Never use items to clean the spray jets!
♦ Never use a needle or a similar object to adjust the spray

jets, otherwise the water passages in the spray jet will be

damaged!

tion upwards or downwards as follows:

– Adjust spray direction at adjuster -arrow- using a screwdriver.
♦ “Clockwise” lower.
♦ “Anti-clockwise” higher.
