WIPER BLADES
– in frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating);
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– Clean the blades and the wind-
screen regularly with soapy
water.
– do not use them when the wind-
screen is dry;
– free them from the windscreen
when they have not been used
for a long time.
