This is the menu in Volvo’s EX60 2027 US support page updated June 1, 2026. Check the in-car manual if your software differs. Do not substitute an XC60 or XC90 stalk-button sequence.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Select the vehicle symbol → Controls → Mirrors and wipers → Wiper service position, then activate it. After servicing, lower both arms onto the windshield before deactivating the setting.

Prepare before moving the arms

Park and keep the arms against the windshield while you find the setting. If you plan to replace the blades, have the correct replacements ready and read the replacement instructions linked below first.

Activate the front-wiper service position

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Lower the arms before exiting

Gently return both wiper arms to the windshield, then deactivate the setting in the display. Volvo also lists using the wipers or washers, or starting to drive, as exit methods.

Arms down first. Operating the wipers while the arms are lifted can damage the vehicle. Use the display to exit while parked so you can finish the check before moving.
