Service and winter position
If you move the windscreen wiper switch to the
flick wiper position within 10 seconds after
parking and turning off the ignition, the wipers
will move to the top position.
This function will not work when the bonnet is
open.
Anti-block function
The wiper system can detect from the current
consumption if the wipers jam.
If there is an obstacle in the wiper path, the
wiper system will attempt five times to push the
obstacle away. If it cannot remove the obstacle,
the wiper will stop in this position.
The obstacle then needs to be removed by hand.
The anti-block function covers the whole wiper
path just up to the top position.
If the wiper blade has frozen onto the bottom
edge of the windscreen, this is also recognised as
an obstacle and the wiper will attempt to free
itself five times. After the fifth attempt it will stop.
Alternating rest position
To avoid long-term deformation of the wiper
blades, the wipers move up slightly every other
time they are switched off.
This changes the position of the wiper blade.
In addition, the rest position can be changed
again if you switch off the ignition again several
times.
