Activate Your Honda’s Wiper Service Mode in Three Simple Steps
Regular maintenance of your Honda’s wiper blades is essential for clear visibility and safe driving, especially during rain, snow, or dusty conditions. To make this process easier, many Honda models come with a convenient wiper service mode that lifts the wipers into an upright position, allowing you to clean, inspect, or replace them with ease. Here’s how to activate it in just three straightforward steps:
Step 1: Turn the Ignition to the ON Position
Start by turning the key to the ON position or, if your Honda has a push-button start, press the start button without pressing the brake pedal. This will power up the vehicle’s electrical systems without starting the engine. After a few seconds, turn the ignition off again. This step prepares the wiper system for service mode activation.
Step 2: Activate Wiper Service Mode
Immediately after turning off the ignition, push the wiper control lever (located on the right side of the steering column) upward to the “MIST” position and hold it for about 2-3 seconds. You’ll notice the wipers move into an upright position on the windshield, indicating that service mode is now active. This position provides full access to the wiper blades for maintenance or replacement.
Step 3: Return to Normal Operation
Once you’ve finished servicing the wiper blades, it’s time to reset them to their standard position. Start your vehicle as you normally would, and briefly activate the wipers by pushing the control lever downward to the “INT” or “LO” position. The wipers will sweep across the windshield and automatically return to their default resting position, ready for regular use.
This user-friendly feature is just one of the many ways Honda prioritizes convenience and practicality in its vehicle design. Whether you’re replacing worn-out blades or giving them a thorough cleaning, wiper service mode makes the task quick and hassle-free, ensuring your Honda stays in peak condition for every drive.
