Volvo XC90: Maintenance and service / Replacing windshield wiper blades
The wiper blades help remove water from the windshield and rear window. Along
with the washer fluid, they are designed to clean the glass and help improve visibility
while driving. The windshield and rear window wiper blades can be replaced.


Raise the wiper arms to the
service position. Service position is activated/deactivated via the function
view in the center display when the car is stationary and the windshield wipers
are not on. Press the button on the wiper blade attachment and pull the wiper
blade straight out, parallel with the wiper arm.
Slide in a new wiper blade
until it clicks into place.
- Check to make sure the blade is securely in place.
- Press the wiper blade back against the windshield.
Wiper blades come in varying lengths

NOTE
When changing wiper blades, make sure that the blades are of different
lengths. The blade on the driver's side is longer than the one on the passenger
side.
