360 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
The wiper blades and wiper arms should be inspected
periodically, not just when wiper performance problems
are experienced. This inspection should include the follow-
ing points:
• Wear or uneven edges
• Foreign material
• Hardening or cracking
• Deformation or fatigue
If a wiper blade or wiper arm is damaged, replace the
affected wiper arm or blade with a new unit. Do not
attempt to repair a wiper arm or blade that is damaged.
Service Position Strategy
The service position allows the wiper blades to be placed in
a position that allows the wiper blades to be easily
changed.
To enable the Service Position Strategy, the wipers must be
in the Park position before placing the ignition in the OFF
mode.
Service mode must be activated within two minutes after
the ignition is placed in the OFF mode.
To have a correct activation of strategy, the Service Position
command (antipanic) must be active for at least half a
second.
At every valid activation of Service Position command, the
wiper blades are activated for 250 ms.
The Service Position command can be repeated several
times to bring the blades into the desired position, up to a
maximum of three times.
After three subsequent activations the strategy is disabled.
Function Deactivation:
The functionality is reset if:
• The ignition is turned to the RUN mode.
• Number of subsequent activations is three.
• Two minutes timer has expired after cycling the ignition
OFF.
NOTE: When turning the ignition ON, the blades will go
into the parking position.
