Replacing windscreen wiper blades
Fold up the wiper arm when it is in service position. Service position is activated/deactivated via the centre display when the car is stationary and the windscreen wipers are not switched 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.
Slide in the new wiper blade until the lock button engages.

Check that the wiper blade is firmly installed.
Fold the wiper arm back towards the windscreen.
