Wiper blades
The wiper blades are different lengths. The blade on the driver's side is longer than the blade on the passenger side.
Service position
The wiper blades must be in the service (vertical) position for replacement or washing.
1. Switch off the ignition (ignition mode 0, see page 80
) and keep the remote key in the ignition slot1.
2. Move the right steering wheel lever up and hold it for at least 1 second. The wipers will then move to the vertical
position on the windshield.

The wipers will return to the normal position when the vehicle is started.
1Does not apply to vehicles with the optional keyless drive.
Replacing the wiper blades
With the wipers in the service position, fold out the wiper arm from the windshield. Press the button on the wiper
blade attachment and pull the wiper blade straight out, parallel with the wiper arm.
Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks into place.
Check that the blade is securely in place.
Cleaning
Keeping the windshield and wiper blades clean helps improve visibility and prolongs the service life of the wiper
blades. Clean the wiper blades with a stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soap solution or car washing detergent.
