Service position
Use the service position to change the wiper blades.
You can set the wipers to the service position on the sound
system or MMI*.
– If the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen,
move the windscreen wiper lever to the "off" position
⇒ page 62, fig. 63.
– Select: Function selector button
wipers > Service position ⇒ fig. 64.
on - the wiper blades can only be replaced when the wiper arms
are in the service position ⇒ fig. 65. If you only work on the wipers
when they are in the service position you will also avoid damaging
the paintwork on the bonnet.
off - the windscreen wipers will be moved back to their original
position.
Caution
Never move the vehicle with the front wiper arms in a raised posi-
tion as they are automatically moved back to their normal park posi-
tion above a speed of 6 km/h. The paintwork on the bonnet may be
damaged as a result.

Note
You can also use the service position, for example, if you want to
fix a cover over the windscreen in the winter to keep it clear of ice.
The service position is automatically set to off when you operate
the windscreen wiper lever or the road speed exceeds 6 km/h.
Changing wiper blades
Good wiper blades are essential for clear vision.
