To lift the windshield wipers to clean the windshield, inspect or replace wiper blades or to raise the wipers in snow/ice conditions, without damaging the hood, the blades need to be moved to the middle of the windshield (service position) .

With the ignition on, turn the ignition OFF, and within 20 seconds move the wiper switch up to the MIST position and hold the switch for more than two seconds until the wiper blade is in the fully up position. To return wipers to the normal position, turn the ignition on, then activate MIST.
