Contaminants on the wiper blades may
reduce the effectiveness of the wiper blades.
Contaminants include ice, car wash spray wax,
cleaning fluids containing bacteria and/or water
repellents, bird droppings, tree sap, and other
organic materials.
Please clean the wiper blades as follows:
• Clean the windscreen with a nonabrasive glass
cleaner.
• Tap “→9HKLFOH6HWWLQJV” on CID, turn on
“)URQW:LSHU0DLQWHQDQFH0RGH” or “%DFN
:LSHU0DLQWHQDQFH0RGH” on the current
interface to activate the front/back wiper
maintenance mode.
• Lift the wiper arm slightly from the windscreen
to get close enough to the wiper blade, then
wipe the blade clean with isopropyl ethanol or
wiper cleaning fluid.
• If the wiper blades are still ineffective after
cleaning, they may need to be replaced.

• Care should be taken when lowering the
wiper arm to prevent it from momentarily
dropping on and hitting the windscreen.
• Wiper blades are coated with a layer
of graphite for smooth wiping without
scraping noises. Cleaning agents containing
solvents, hard sponges, and sharp objects
can damage the graphite layer. A broken
graphite layer will result in increased wiper
scraping noises and should be replaced
timely.
• Always check that the wiper blades are
not frozen to the windscreen before using
the wipers in winter or cold weather. If so,
deice first before using, otherwise, the wiper
blades and wiper motor may be damaged.
