CAUTIONS
Set the windscreen wipers in the
service position to change the wiper
blades.
You can use the service position in
winter to provide easier access to
the wiper blades for freeing them
from snow and ice. The windscreen
wipers will return to their normal position
as soon as you switch on the ignition so
make sure that you fully defrost the
windscreen before you switch on the
ignition.
