Skoda Wiper Blade Service Mode Position

Activate Your Škoda’s Wiper Service Mode in Three Simple Steps

Maintaining your Škoda’s wiper blades is essential for clear visibility and safe driving, especially during challenging weather conditions. To make this process effortless, many Škoda models come equipped 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, whether your Škoda has a keyless start system or a traditional key ignition:

For Škoda Vehicles with Keyless Start:

1. Enter Ignition 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.
2. Activate Wiper Service Mode:
   Within 10 seconds of turning off the vehicle, push the wiper stalk downward (to the “MIST” position) and hold it for about 2-3 seconds. The wipers will move into an upright position on the windshield, indicating that service mode is active.
3. 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.

   Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, push the wiper stalk downward (to the “MIST” position) and hold it for about 2-3 seconds. The wipers will move into an upright position on the windshield, indicating that service mode is active.
