WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is de-
formed 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 an antifreeze prod-
uct to release it if required.
❒remove the snow from the window:
this will avoid overstressing the elec-
trical motor in addition to protecting
the blades;
❒do not operate the windscreen and the
rear screen wipers on dry glass.Replacing the windscreen
wiper blades fig. 5
Proceed as follows:
❒lift the arm Aof the wiper and position
the blade so that it forms an angle of
90° with the arm itself;
❒press the button Aand extract from
the arm Bthe brush C;
❒insert the new blade making sure it is
locked.
fig. 5F0S119Ab
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
Changing the rear
window blade fig. 6
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the cover Aand remove the arm
from the car, slackening the nut Bthat
fastens it to the pivot pin;
❒fit the new arm, positioning it correct-
ly, and fully tighten the nut;
❒lower the cover.
