Wiper blades in service position

In some situations, the windscreen's wiper
blades must be set in service position (vertical
position), e.g. when they shall be replaced.
Wiper blades in service position.
In order to change, clean or lift the wiper blades
(e.g. for scraping off ice from the windscreen)
they must be in service position.
IMPORTANT
Before placing the wiper blades in the service
position, make sure that they are not frozen
down.
Activating/deactivating service mode
Service mode can be activated/deactivated when
the car is stationary and the windscreen wipers
are not on. Service mode is activated/deactivated
via the function view in the centre display:
Press the Wiper Service
Position
button. The light indi-
cator in the button illuminates
when service mode is activated.
When activated, the wipers
move to the service position. To
deactivate the service mode,
Wiper Service Position
press again. The light
indicator in the button extinguishes when service
mode is deactivated.
The wiper blades also exit the service position if:
Windscreen wiping is activated.
•
Windscreen washing is activated.
•
The rain sensor is activated.
•
The car is driven away.
•
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 activation of wiping, wash-
ing or the rain sensor, as well as before driv-
ing. This is to avoid scraping the paint on the
bonnet.
