WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER
BLADES
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed
or worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace
them approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature falls below zero, make sure
that ice has not frozen the rubber against the
glass. Use an antifreeze product to release it
if required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on
the motor and over-heating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen/rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades
is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
Replacing the windscreen wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒ raise the wiper arm, press tab A fig. 162 of the
attachment spring and remove the blade from
the arm;
❒ fit the new blade, inserting the tab into the
special slot in the arm, making sure that it
is locked.
❒ lower the windscreen wiper arm on the
windscreen.
Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen.
