IMPORTANT  
If the wiper arms in service position have  
been folded up from the windscreen, they  
must be folded back down onto the wind-  
screen before the wipers are activated. This is  
to avoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.  
Replacing the wiper blades

heard.

they have different lengths. The blade on the  
driver's side is longer than on the passenger  
side.  
Fold up the wiper arm when it is in service  
position. Press the button located on the  
wiper blade mounting and pull straight out  
parallel with the wiper arm.  
WARNING  
Check that the blade is firmly installed.  
If the car is equipped with airbag Pedestrian  
Airbag Volvo recommends that the wiper arms  
should be genuine parts and that only genu-  
ine parts are used for them.
