SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 265
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on geographical area and frequency
of use. Poor performance of blades may be
present with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions are
present, clean the wiper blades or replace as
necessary.
The wiper blades and wiper arms should be
inspected periodically, not just when wiper
performance problems are experienced. This
inspection should include the following points:
Wear or uneven edges
Foreign material
Hardening or cracking
Deformation or fatigue
If a wiper blade or wiper arm is damaged,
replace the affected wiper arm or blade with a
new unit. Do not attempt to repair a wiper arm
or blade that is damaged.
Service Position Strategy
The service position allows the wiper blades to
be placed in a position that allows the wiper
blades to be easily changed.
To enable the Service Position Strategy, the
wipers must be in the Park position before
placing the ignition in the OFF mode.
Service Mode must be activated within two
minutes after the ignition is placed in the OFF
mode.
To have a correct activation of strategy, the
Service Position command (anti-panic) must be
active for at least half a second.
At every valid activation of Service Position
command, the wiper blades are activated for
250 ms.
The Service Position command can be repeated
several times to bring the blades into the
desired position, up to a maximum of three
times.
After three subsequent activations the strategy
is disabled.
Function Deactivation:
The functionality is reset if:
The ignition is turned to the RUN mode.
Number of subsequent activations is three.
Two minute timer has expired after placing
the ignition OFF.
NOTE:
When turning the ignition ON, the blades will go
into the parking position.
