  • At sub-zero temperatures, first check that the wiper blades are not frozen onto the glass.
  • Switch on ignition briefly and then switch off.
  • Operate "touch wipe" function within 10 seconds.
    • The wipers will run to the "service position".
Caution

The bonnet can be damaged if the wipers are allowed to run back to the park position.

  • Do not move the vehicle when the wiper arms are lifted up off the windscreen.
