How to open the vanes to wash the radiator

When PowerfulUK fitted their winch there were a lot of comments about how dirty the engine radiator was on their Defender........ well Simon has been reading the workshop manual and found a secret mode to allow gentle washing of the the radiator.

Need to wait 20 seconds after selecting Sand Mode - before turning off - to give the flaps time to move.

Not sure I'd be wanting anyone to jet wash my radiator, those fins are mighty delicate.
