When lifting and putting back the wiper,
you shall not pull the wiper blade directly
to avoid deformation or even damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position. Pull up the wiper control com-
bination switch to itself and hold it for
about 3s. Then, the wiper will automati-
cally reach the maintenance position,
