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).
