Wiper and Washer Systems: Testing and Inspection
Bringing Wipers into Service Position
• If the windshield wiper motor is to be run during the work procedure, the hood must be closed, otherwise the voltage supply of the wiper motor will be interrupted.
- If there is a chance of freezing, ensure the wiper blades are not frozen.
- Switch on the ignition.
- Activate the menu point windshield wipers "on" in the "MMI". Refer to the Owner's Manual.
• The windshield wipers run into "service position".
- Switch off the ignition.
Risk of damaging the hood by running the wipers back in basic position.
• Do not drive a vehicle with windshield wiper arms folded up.
• The windshield wipers automatically go back into their rest position when the wiper switch is activated or when driving faster than 6 km/h (4 mph).
