Fold-away position of the wipers
Principle
In the fold-out position, the wipers can be folded
out from the windshield, which is important, for
instance, when changing the wiper blades or for
folding away under frosty conditions.
Safety information
Warning
If the wipers start moving in the folded away
state, body parts can be jammed or damage
may occur to parts of the vehicle. There is a risk
of injury or risk of damage to property. Make
sure that the vehicle is switched off when the
wipers are in the folded away state and the wip‐
ers are folded in when switching on.
NOTICE
If the wipers are frozen to the windshield, the
wiper blades can be torn off and the wiper mo‐
tor can overheat when switching on. There is a
risk of damage to property, among other poten‐
tial damage. Defrost the windshield prior to
switching the wipers on.
