Changing the wiper rest position can be
difficult if there is a build–up of snow.
Also, if the wipers are in the upper rest
position, it will be more difficult for the
wiper blades to make contact with the
glass.
If the wipers are operated from their stan-
dard position, and there is a build–up of
snow on the wipers, the wipers are de-
signed to automatically change to the up-
per position for winter. Depending on the
amount of accumulated snow, the wipers
may make a scraping noise. If such a
sound is heard, change the wipers to the
upper position and remove any accumu-
lated snow.
