Replacing wiper blades
About replacing wiper blades
GWarning!
For safety reasons, switch off the wipers
and remove the key from the starter switch
before replacing a wiper blade. The
windshield wipers could otherwise be set
in motion and cause injury.
GWarning!
Wiper blades are components that are
subject to wear and tear. Replace the wiper
blades at least twice a year, preferably in
the spring and fall. Otherwise the windows
will not be properly wiped. As a result, you
may not be able to observe surrounding
traffic conditions and could cause an
accident.
! Hold on to the wiper when folding the
wiper arm back. If released, the force of
the impact from the windshield wiper
tensioning spring could crack the
windshield.
Do not allow the wiper arms to contact the
windshield glass without a wiper blade
inserted.
We recommend that you have this work
carried out at an authorized smart
center.
