You can set the wipers to the service position on the sound system or MMI*.
Service position
Switch the windscreen wipers off (position -0- Fig. 3).
Select: Function selector button CAR > Windscreen wipers > Service position > on Fig. 1. The windscreen wipers will move into the service position.
Taking off the wiper blade
Lift the wiper arm away from the glass.
Press the release button -1- on the wiper blade Fig. 2, holding the wiper blade firmly.
Take off the wiper blade in the direction of the arrow.
Fitting the wiper blade
Fit the new wiper blade into the mounting on the wiper arm -2-. You should hear it engage in the wiper arm.
Fold the wiper arm back down onto the glass.
To bring the wipers back to their original position, operate the wiper lever or
Select: Function selector button CAR > Windscreen wipers > Service position > off.
WARNING!
- To prevent smearing on the glass, the wiper blades should be cleaned regularly using a window cleaner solution. If the wiper blades are very dirty (insects etc.), they should be cleaned using a sponge or cloth - bad visibility can cause accidents.
- For safety, the wiper blades should be changed once or twice a year.
Caution!
- The wipers must be in the service position before lifting them off the windscreen! Otherwise the wiper motor or the paintwork on the bonnet may be damaged.
- Never move the vehicle with the front wiper arms in a raised position as they are automatically moved back to their normal park position when the car starts moving. The paintwork on the bonnet may be damaged as a result.
Note
You can also use the service position, for example, if you want to fix a cover over the windscreen in the winter to keep it clear of ice.
