Windshield Blade Replacement

To replace the windshield wiper blades the wiper arms must
be set at 90° to the vehicle (A).
1. Press and hold in buttons 2 and 6 (Infotainment keypad).
Insert the vehicle key in the Ignition Control and move to
position 'II' (ignition ON).
This will manoeuvre the wiper blade arms to the 90°
position. Return the vehicle key to position '0'.
2. Lift the wiper arm(s) up and remove the worn wiper
blade(s). Install the new wiper blade(s) and lower the
wiper arm(s).
3. After replacing the wiper blade either:
• Move the vehicle key back to position 'II' to lower the
wiper arms. Return the vehicle key to position 'O' or
remove.
• Operate the wiper stalk - the wiper arms will complete
the request and then park.

Brake Pad 'Bedding-in'
Failure to 'bed-in' new brake pads will result in reduced
brake performance and possible brake judder or squeal.
After the installation of new brake pads, brake performance
will be limited, as the brake rotors and pads need to be
'Bedded-in'. For the first few hundred kms / miles of new
brake pad use, avoid excessive braking (hard stops from high
speed, alpine descents, etc.).
