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 service position when they are to be replaced.

Wiper blades in service position.

In order to change, 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.
Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch1 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 levels.
Briefly press the START/STOP ENGINE button again to set the car’s electrical system in key position 0.
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 system to key position I (or when the car is started).

 Important

If the wiper arms in service position have been folded up from the windscreen, they must be folded back down onto the windscreen before the wipers are activated. This is to avoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.
