Wipers (replacing blades)
WINDsCrEEN WIPEr BLADEs
replacing wiper blades 1
With the ignition on and the engine
switched off, lower the windscreen
wiper stalk completely: they stop
slightly away from the bonnet.
Lift wiper arm 3 , pull tab 2 (move -
ment A) and push the blade upwards.
To refit
Slide the blade along the arm until it
clips on. Make sure that the blade is
correctly locked in position. Return the
windscreen wiper stalk to the park po-
sition.

Keep monitoring the condition of the
wiper blades. How long they last de-
pends on you:
– clean the blades and the wind -
screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen is dry;
– free them from the windscreen
when they have not been used
for a long time.
A
– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
They should be replaced as soon
as they become less efficient: ap-
proximately once a year.
When changing the blade, when it
has been removed, do not let the
wiper arm fall against the window:
risk of breaking the window.
