Wiper Blades - Volvo V 70 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 change, clean or lift the wiper
blades (for scraping off ice from the wind-
screen, for example) they must be in service
position.
Not necessary in cars with the Keyless function.

IMPORTANT
Before placing the wiper blades in the
service position, make sure that they are
not frozen down.
1. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
13
tion switch and briefly press the
START/STOP ENGINE button to set the
car's electrical system to key position I.
For detailed information on key positions,
see Key positions - functions at different
levels (p. 78).
2. Briefly press the START/STOP ENGINE
button again to set the car's electrical
system in key position 0.
3. Within 3 seconds, move the right stalk
switch up and hold it in position for
approx. 1 second.
> The wipers then move to standing
straight up.
The wipers return to their starting position
when you briefly press the START/STOP
ENGINE button to set the car's electrical sys-
tem to key position I (or when the car is
started).
10 Maintenance and service
IMPORTANT
If the wiper arms in service position have
been folded up from the windscreen, they
must be folded back down onto the wind-
screen before the wipers are allowed to
return to their starting position. This is to
avoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.
