Wiper Blades - Volvo V40 Cross Country Owner's Manual

Wiper blades

The wiper blades sweep water away from the
windscreen and rear window. Together with
the washer fluid they clean the windows and
ensure visibility for driving.
The windscreen wiper blades must be in serv-
ice position when they are to be replaced.
Service position
Wiper blades in service position.
In order to make replacement possible, to
clean or lift the wiper blades (for scraping off
ice from the windscreen, for example), they
must be in service position.
Not necessary in cars with Keyless function.

10 Maintenance and service
IMPORTANT
If the wiper arms in the service position
have been folded up from the windscreen,
they must be folded back down onto the
windscreen before the wipers are allowed
to return to their starting position. This is to
avoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.
