Lifting up wipers?

Post by Peacock8 »

Hello!

tried to search for this, but to no avail..

Am I missing something or isn´t it possible to lift up the front screen wipers? I can lift the right one, but it touches the bonnet, so I don´t like it much. Is there some service option anywhere which moves the wipers slightly up the front screen? annoying when I´m trying to wash the window!

Ørjan.

You need to turn the ignition to position 1 then press down on the stalk to single wipe. This should move the wipers to a vertical position so you can lift them up. Turn the key from position 0 to 2 and press the stalk again to return to the correct position.

You need to out them into service mode which makes them go vertical and that way you can lift them up.

Within a few seconds of switching off the ignition, give the wiper stalk a flick down and they will go vertical. Once you have finished, switch on ignition and flick the stalk again and they will park as normal.
