The wiper blades also exit service position if:
•
Windscreen wiping is activated.
•
Windscreen washing is activated.
•
Rain sensor activated.
•
The car is driven away.
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 activation of wiping, wash-
ing or the rain sensor, as well as before driv-
ing. This is to avoid scraping the paint on the
bonnet.

Replacing a wiper blade
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. Windscreen and rear window
wiper blades can be replaced.
Replacing a windscreen wiper blade
1. Fold up the wiper arm when it is in service
position.
2.
Set the wiper blade in removal position by
angling it out from the arm until a click sound
can be heard.
3.
Press and hold the lock button located
on the wiper blade mounting and at the
same time pull the blade straight out
par-
allel with the wiper arm.
4. Slide in the new wiper blade until the lock
button engages.
5. Angle the blade in towards the arm until a
click sound is heard. The blade is then no
longer in the removal position and can be
moved again.
6. Check that the wiper blade is firmly installed.
7. Fold the wiper arm back towards the wind-
screen.
The wiper blades are different lengths.
NOTE
The wiper blades are different lengths. The
blade on the driver's side is longer than on
the passenger side.
