Onboard power supply
Service/winter position
If, within 10 seconds of switching off the ignition,
the windscreen wiper switch is switched to the tip
wiping position, the wipers will move to the
upper end position of the wiped arc.
When the wiper arms are in the service/winter
position, the wiper blades can be renewed
without restriction or the wiper arms can be lifted
up to prevent the blade rubber from freezing to
the windscreen.
The wipers will revert to the rest position as soon
as the windscreen wiper switch is actuated twice
with the ignition switched on or at a driving
speed of > 2 km/h.

Actuation of the headlight washer system is
carried out by the onboard supply control unit
and is part of the "wash/wipe" function.
