Activating Wiper Service Mode on Your Vehicle
Whether your vehicle is equipped with a keyless start system or a traditional key ignition, activating wiper service mode is a simple process designed to make wiper maintenance quick and hassle-free. Follow these steps to lift your wipers into the upright position for easy access to the blades.
For Vehicles with Keyless Start:
- Enter Auxiliary Mode:
Press the START button once without pressing the brake pedal. This will power up the vehicle’s electrical systems without starting the engine. Wait for about 5 seconds, then press the START button again to turn the vehicle completely off. - Activate Wiper Service Mode:
Within 30 seconds of turning off the vehicle, pull the wiper stalk toward you (to activate the windshield washer spray) and hold it for 0.5 seconds. Release it, then pull and hold it again for another 0.5 seconds. This will activate the wiper service mode, and the wipers will move into an upright position on the windshield. - Return to Normal Operation:
Once you’ve finished servicing the wiper blades, start the vehicle as usual and briefly activate the wipers by pushing the wiper stalk downward. The wipers will sweep across the windshield and return to their normal resting position.
For Vehicles with a Traditional Key Ignition:
- Turn the Ignition to the ON Position:
Insert the key and turn it to the ON position (but do not start the engine). Wait for about 5 seconds, then turn the key back to the OFF/LOCK position and remove it from the ignition. - Activate Wiper Service Mode:
Within 30 seconds of turning off the ignition, pull the wiper stalk toward you (to activate the windshield washer spray) and hold it for 0.5 seconds. Release it, then pull and hold it again for another 0.5 seconds. This will activate the wiper service mode, and the wipers will move into an upright position on the windshield. - Return to Normal Operation:
Once you’ve completed your maintenance, start the vehicle as usual and briefly activate the wipers by pushing the wiper stalk downward. The wipers will sweep across the windshield and return to their normal resting position.
This intuitive feature is designed to make wiper maintenance, cleaning, or replacement effortless, ensuring your vehicle is always ready to handle whatever the road throws your way. Whether you’re preparing for a seasonal change or simply performing routine upkeep, wiper service mode simplifies the process, keeping your windshield clear and your drives safe.
