Wiper blades and washer fluid

Wiper blades
The windshield wiper blades are different
lengths. The blade on the driver's side is longer
than the one on the passenger side.
Service position
The wiper blades must be in the service (verti-
06
cal) position for replacement or washing.
1. Switch off the ignition (ignition mode 0, see
page 79) and keep the remote key in the
ignition slot 1 .
2. Move the right steering wheel lever up and
hold it for at least 1 second. The wipers will
then move to the vertical position on the
windshield.
1 Does not apply to vehicles with the optional keyless drive.

The wipers will return to the normal position
when the vehicle is started.
Replacing the windshield wiper blades
With the wipers in the service position, fold
out the wiper arm from the windshield.
Press the button on the wiper blade attach-
ment and pull the wiper blade straight out,
parallel with the wiper arm.
Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks
into place.
Check that the blade is securely in place.
Cleaning
Keeping the windshield and wiper blades clean
helps improve visibility and prolongs the serv-
ice life of the wiper blades. Clean the wiper
blades with a stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm
soap solution or car washing detergent.
