Wipers to the UP position?

DesertDog · Mar 22nd, 2011, 15:49

Is there any easy way to get the wipers to the up position, i.e. to lift them off the windscreen? It's a bit of pain trying to clean the crap out with the wipers flat to the screen

Ignition on, wipers on, turn the ignition off when they are in the vertical position..

That's where the keyless system is at a disadvantage!

See page 269 of the manual - Wiper blades Service position.

Basically, put the fob in the ignition (Posn 0), lift the right hand stalk to the up position for approx 1 second, the wipers will then park in a vertical position. When the car is stated they will return to their regular position.

This took me a while to work out too!
