Service position
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 serv-
ice position, make sure that they are not fro-
zen down.
1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch1 and briefly press the START/
STOP ENGINE button to set the car's elec-trical system to key position I. (For detailed
information on key positions, see page 78.)
2.
Briefly press the START/STOP ENGINE
button again to set the car’s electrical sys-
tem in key position 0.
3. 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 sys-
tem 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 wind-
screen before the wipers are allowed to
return to their starting position. This is to
avoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.
NOTE
Once the wiper arms have been in service
position, the wipers must be activated and
deactivated before service position can be
used again.
