BLADES
Clean the rubber part regularly using
special products.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge
is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is
advisable to replace them approximately
once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blades:
❒
make sure that the rubber part is not
stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero
temperatures. Use a de-icing 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 overheating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen and
the rear screen wipers on dry glass.

❒
insert the new blade making sure
it is locked.

Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
