Fold wipers back when you want to change the blades or with pending low temperatures.
1. Switch the ignition on and off again.
2. With icy conditions make sure that blades are not frozen to the windshield.
3. Press the wiper lever up beyond the point of resistance and hold it for approx. 3 seconds, until the wiper remains in a nearly vertical position.
After the wipers are folded back down, the wiper system must be reactivated.
