Wiper service mode
Can someone share procedure on how to put the wipers (front & rear) into service mode (stay on vertical position) so the blades can be replaced?

Steps to Activate Wiper Service Mode
- Start in Accessory Mode
- With the vehicle parked, either turn the ignition to ON (if key-operated) or press the Start button once without pressing the brake (for keyless start)
- Turn Off Ignition
- Immediately after, switch the ignition/accessory mode OFF to prime the system
- Engage Service Mode
- Within ≈10 seconds, press and hold the wiper stalk downwards (or pull if on left, depending on model) for about 2–3 seconds.
- The wipers will sweep into an upright—or far-left—position on the windshield and hold there

Noted. May I clarify a bit? as soon as I go back to 'off' mode via the ignition button, pull the wiper (or the signal) stalk down and hold for about 3 seconds - the wipers will swipe up and stay up so the blades can be changed. It's the pulling of the stalk down (as if I am signaling a left turn signal)..but not pressing the windshield washer fluid button 'in' for 3 seconds
Alternate process from car turned on and ready to drive:
- press the start/stop button to turn the car off
- open the drivers door
- within 10 sec press and hold the washer button
This is only necessary for the front windscreen wipers. For the rear just pull out the arm at 90 degrees from the window for about an inch.
- press the start/stop button to turn the car off
- open the drivers door
- within 10 sec press and hold the washer button
This is only necessary for the front windscreen wipers. For the rear just pull out the arm at 90 degrees from the window for about an inch.
