Efficiency of a wiper
blade
Check the condition of the
wiper blades. How long they last
depends on you:
– it must remain clean : clean the
blade and the screen regularly
with soapy water;
– do not use it when the screen is
dry;
– free it from the screen when it
has not been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace it as soon as
it begins to lose efficiency : ap-
proximately once a year.
Precaution for using the wipers
– In freezing or snowy weather
conditions, clear the screen be-
fore starting the wipers (risk of
wiper motor overheating);
– ensure that no objects are ob-
structing the travel of the blade.
