Efficiency of a wiper blade
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. How long they last depends
on you:
– it must remain clean: clean the blade and the screen regularly
with soapy water;
– do not use it when the screen is dry;
– free it from the screen when it has not been used for a long time.
Replace wiper blades as soon as
their performance starts to diminish:
Approximately every year (refer to
the information on “Wiper blades” in
section 5).
Precautions for using the
wipers
– In freezing or snowy weather, clear the screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor over-
heating);
– ensure that no objects are ob- structing the travel of the blade.
