How to put the windscreen wipers of the Citroen C3 III in maintenance position

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Windshield wipers

In this video, we will see how to put the windshield wipers of the Citroen C3 version III in maintenance position, in order to be able to perform all the necessary operations, such as replacing the brushes, or even just the rubber blades, if only those need to be changed. We need to get into the car, with the doors closed, start the engine, then turn it off and press the lever located on the right side of the steering wheel, which controls the windshield wipers: press it once and the windshield wipers will go into service position. This way we can easily access the arms, which cannot be lifted outward and therefore cannot break. Once we have pressed the button that allows us to remove the brush, we should have a soft cloth to place them on the windshield, in order not to scratch it. To return the windshield wipers to their normal position, we get back in the car, turn on the ignition, press the wiper lever once again and they will return to their place.
