WARNING
If insuicient antifreeze is added to the
washer uid, it could freeze on the glass and
impair visibility.
●
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and venti-
lation system. The windscreen washer uid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen
and obscure your view of the road.
WARNING
The use of worn or dirty wiper blades reduces
visibility and increases the risk of serious ac-
cidents and injuries.
●
Replace the wiper blades whenever they
are in poor condition or worn out and
no longer clean the windows suiciently
›››page271.
NOTICE
Before driving o and before switching on
the ignition, check the following aspects of
the wiper blades and the wiper motor to pre-
vent damage to the glass:
●
The wiper lever is in the neutral position.
●
You have removed or cleared any snow and
ice from the wiper blades and windows.
●
You have carefully removed any wiper
blades that may have frozen from the win-
dow. CUPRA recommends a de-icer spray for
this operation.
NOTICE
Do not turn on the wiper until the glass is dry.
Using the wipers while dry can damage the
glass.
