Service position
Wiper blades in service position
The wiper blades must be in the vertical (service) position for replacement, washing or to lift them away from the windshield when e.g., removing ice or snow. To put them in this position:
1. While sitting in the driver's seat, close the driver's door.
2. Insert the remote key in the ignition slot
3. Put the ignition in mode II (see page 86).
4. With the remote key in the ignition slot1, put the ignition in mode 0.
5. Move the right steering wheel lever up and hold it for at least 1 second. The wipers will then move to the vertical (service) position on the windshield.
The wipers can be returned to the normal position by briefly switching on the ignition (or by starting the engine).
