Windshield Wiper, Bringing Into Service Position

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE:

If the windshield wiper motor is to be run during the work procedure, the hood must be completely closed, otherwise the power supply to the wiper motor will be interrupted.

-- Make sure the wiper blades are not frozen if there is a risk for frost.

-- Briefly turn the ignition on and then off again.

-- Operate the "one-touch wiping" within 10 seconds.

The windshield wipers run in "service position".

CAUTION:

Risk of damaging the hood by putting the windshield wipers back in basic setting.

Do not drive a vehicle with windshield wiper arms folded up.
The windshield wipers automatically go back in the basic setting when the windshield wiper switch is activated or when driving faster than 6 km/h.
