- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using soapywater,

- not use them to hold a sheet of cardboard against the windscreen,

- replace them at the first signs of wear.


Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor and located inthe centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. Switch off the automatic wiping whenusing an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the windscreen is completely clear of ice before activating the automatic wiping.
