How to raise the Citroen C5 windshield wipers when it snows

Model: Citroen C5 Aircross MK 1 - Years 2017-2022
Part: Windshield wipers

In this video, the YouTuber suggests a method to solve a problem that the manufacturer seems not to have considered carefully on the Citroen C5 Aircross: how to raise the windshield wipers when it snows. In fact, on this car, the hood is much higher, in thickness, than the windshield, so if it snows, the windshield wipers cannot be manually lifted in case of snow. But Citroen has thought about it: let's see how to do it. Turn on the instrument panel, then turn it off, pull down the windshield wiper lever, and they automatically rise to a vertical position; then just lift them from the windshield to put them in a snow safety position.
