Wiper blades – service position
The windshield wiper blades must be in the vertical (service) position for replacement, washing or to lift them away from the windshield when e.g., removing ice or snow.
Important
Be sure the wiper blades are not frozen in position before attempting to move them to the service position.
To put the windshiield wipers in the service position:
Insert the remote key into the ignition slot1 and press the START/STOP ENGINE button briefly to put the ignition in mode I (see Ignition modes for detailed information about the ignition modes).
Press the START/STOP ENGINE button again briefly to switch the ignition off.
Within 3 seconds, move the right steering wheel lever up and hold it for at least 1 second.
The wipers will then move to the vertical (service) position on the windshield.
The wipers can be returned to the normal position by pressing the START/STOP ENGINE button briefly to put the ignition in mode I (or by starting the engine).
Important
If the wiper arms have been folded out from the windshield while in the service position, fold them back against the windshield before returning the wipers to the normal position to help avoid scratching the paint on the hood.
