Wiper blades in service position

The windscreen wiper blades must be in service
position (vertical position) when, for example,
they are being 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 the service position is
activated. Upon activation, the
wipers move to standing
straight up. To deactivate the
Wiper Service Position
service mode, press
again. The light indicator in the button extin-
guishes when the service position is deactivated.
The wiper blades also exit service position if:
•
Windscreen wiping is activated.
•
Windscreen washing is activated.
•
Rain sensor 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.
