Antifreeze for washer fluid
Antifreeze is flammable and can cause
injury if it is used incorrectly.
Do not use the washer system at freezing
temperatures
Therefore, keep it away from possible sources
of ignition.
Do not use the washers if fluid could freeze
onto the windshield which might impede your
viewing field. Therefore use antifreeze fluid.
Only keep it in the closed original container
and inaccessible to children.
Follow the notes and instructions on the con‐
tainer.
Avoid using the washer when the reservoir is
empty; operation might damage pump.◀
United States: The washer fluid mixture ratio is
regulated by the U.S. EPA and many individual
states; do not exceed the allowable washer
fluid dilution ratios limits that apply. Follow the

General information
All washer nozzles are supplied from one res‐

The M double-clutch transmission with Drive‐
logic is an automatic shift transmission with
two clutches and partial transmissions in which
the gears can be changed without interrupting
the tractive force.
Fill with a mixture of windshield washer con‐
centrate and tap water and – if required – with a
washer antifreeze, according to the manufac‐
turer's recommendations.
The operation is via the selector lever or two
shift paddles on the steering wheel.
Mix the washer fluid before adding to find the
right mixture.
Functions
Do not add windshield washer concentrate and
antifreeze undiluted and do not fill with pure
water; this could damage the wiper system.
