WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part us-
ing special products; TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC 35is recommend-
ed.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn
they should be replaced. In any case
they should be changed once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades:
– If the temperature falls to below
zero, make sure the rubber blade is
not frozen to the windscreen. If nec-
essary, free it with a de-icing com-
pound.Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is re-
duced in bad weather.
– Remove any snow that has settled
on the glass: besides saving the blades
you will avoid straining the electric
windscreen wiper motor and causing
it to overheat.
– Do not operate the windscreen or
rear window wipers on dry glass.

170VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Changing the rear window
wiper blade
1)Lift the cover A-fig. 24and fig.
25and dismantle the arm from the ve-
hicle by unscrewing the nut Bwhich
holds it onto the knuckle.
2) Position the new arm correctly
and fasten the nut.
3) Lower the cover.SPRAY NOZZLES
If there is no jet of liquid, first make
sure that there is liquid in the reser-
voir: see “Checking fluid levels” in this
section.
Then make sure that the holes in the
nozzles are not clogged up. Use a pin
for this if necessary.
The windscreen washer jets fig. 26
can be directed by adjusting the incli-
nation of the nozzles. Direct the spray
so that it reaches the highest point
reached by the blades.
