Replacing windscreen wiper
blades
The wiper blades sweep water away from the
windscreen and rear window. Together with
washer fluid, they aim to clean the windows
and ensure visibility while driving. Wind-
screen and rear window wiper blades can be
replaced.
Fold up the wiper arm when it is in service
position. Service position is activated/deacti-
vated via the function view in the centre dis-
play when the car is stationary and the wind-
screen wipers are not on.
Set the wiper blade in removal position by
angling it out from the arm until a click
sound can be heard.
Press and hold the lock button located on
the wiper blade mounting.
At the same time, pull the blade straight
out parallel with the wiper arm.
4. Slide in the new wiper blade until the lock
button engages.
5. Angle the blade in towards the arm until a
click sound is heard. The blade is then no
longer in the removal position and can be
moved again.
6. Check that the wiper blade is firmly instal-
led.
7. Fold the wiper arm back towards the
windscreen.
The wiper blades are different lengths
NOTE
When replacing the wiper blades, note that
they have different lengths. The blade on
the driver's side is longer than on the pas-
senger side.
