	Injury hazard from pinching and crushing, in extreme cases extremities can even be cut off when caught in windshield wiper mechanism.	Always remove ignition key when working on windshield wiper mechanism.	AS82.30-Z-0001-01A
	Check
1	Bring wiper system out of park position	MODEL 204, 207, 212, 218 without CODE 889 (KEYLESS-GO) Switch on ignition (circuit 15 or circuit 15R) and turn wiper switch to position "2". Once the wiper system has left its park position, switch off the ignition and remove transmitter key from ignition lock. MODEL 204, 207, 212, 218 with CODE 889 (KEYLESS-GO) Switch on ignition (circuit 15 or circuit 15R) and turn wiper switch to position "2". Once the wiper system has left its park position, switch off the ignition and remove KEYLESS-GO start/stop button from electronic ignition lock control unit.
2	Manually position wiper system into reversing position	Distance of driver-side wiper blade to inside of drip rail (A) approx. 60 mm, distance of passenger-side wiper blade to inside of drip rail (B) approx. 330 mm. For left-hand drive vehicles, measured from the upper wiper blade end of the driver-side wiper blade (1) and the passenger-side wiper blade (2) to the inside of the left drip rail. For right-hand drive vehicles, measured from the upper wiper blade end of the driver-side wiper blade (1) and the passenger-side wiper blade (2) to the inside of the right drip rail.
3	Remove wiper blades	When working on raised driver-side wiper arm (1) or passenger side wiper arm (2), ensure that they do not fold back onto the windshield uncontrolled. Otherwise, the windshield will be damaged.
4	Clean wiper blade fixtures on driver-side wiper arm (1) and passenger-side wiper arm (2) using a clean cloth
5	Check angle of incidence of driver-side wiper arm (1) and passenger-side wiper arm (2) to windshield		AR82.30-P-6000-01CW
		When changing from reversing position to parked position, make sure that driver-side wiper arm (1) and passenger-side wiper arm (2) do not make direct contact with windshield. Otherwise, the windshield will be scratched. Cover driver-side wiper arm (1) and passenger-side wiper arm (2) with appropriate means (scratch protection).
