Wiper blades
The wiper blades sweep water away from the
windscreen and rear window. Together with
the washer fluid they clean the windows and
ensure visibility for driving.
The windscreen wiper blades must be in serv-
ice position when they are to be replaced.
Service position
Wiper blades in service position.
In order to make replacement possible, to
clean or lift the wiper blades (for scraping off
ice from the windscreen, for example), they
must be in service position.
IMPORTANT
Before placing the wiper blades in the
service position, make sure that they are
not frozen down.
1. Place the remote control key in the igni-
tion lock
7
and briefly press the START/
STOP ENGINE button to set the car's
electrical system to key position I. For
detailed information on key positions, see
Key positions - functions at different lev-
els (p. 71).
2. Briefly press the START/STOP ENGINE
button again to set the car’s electrical
system in key position 0.
3. Within 3 seconds, move the right stalk
switch up and hold it in position for
approx. 1 second.
> The wipers then move to standing
straight up.
The wipers return to their starting position
when you briefly press the START/STOP
ENGINE button to set the car’s electrical sys-
tem to key position I (or when the car is
started).
IMPORTANT
If the wiper arms in the service position
have been folded up from the windscreen,
they must be folded back down onto the
windscreen before the wipers are allowed
to return to their starting position. This is to
avoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.
