Land Rover Defender: Winter park position

Make sure that the wiper arms are in the winter park position before lifting the wiper blades away from the windshield.

Failure to do so, may result in damage to the bonnet.

When the vehicle is parked, the wipers can be set to park in a higher position than normal. The wiper blades can be lifted from the windshield to limit the possibility of the blades sticking to the glass. Lifting the wiper blades from the windshield aids the removal of snow, mud, and leaves, etc.

The wipers move to the winter park position when the vehicle's ignition is switched off. The wipers remain in the winter park position until one of the following occurs:

• The vehicle's speed is above 8 km/h (5 mph).
• The wipers are operated.

The driver can disable and re-enable winter park at any time via the touchscreen:

1. Touch the settings icon¹ from any screen.

2. Touch the ALL soft key.

3. Touch the Vehicle soft key.

4. Touch the Convenience soft key.

5. Touch the Wipers soft key.

6. Touch the Winter wiper park toggle.

7. Touch the exit icon² to return to the previously displayed screen.

HEADLIGHT WASHERS

Note: The headlight washers operate only if the headlights are switched on and there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.

The headlight wash feature operates automatically with the windshield wash.

The feature operates every fourth operation of the windshield washers. The feature operates if the headlights are switched on and approximately 10 minutes has elapsed since the last headlight wash.

Switching the headlights or the vehicle's ignition off and back on again resets the cycle.
