Refitting
Offer up the blade 3 of the wiper arm 1 
at an angle of 30°.
Slide the blade along the arm until 
it clips on. Check that it is correctly 
locked in place. Lower the windscreen 
wiper arm carefully.
With the ignition on, return the wind-
screen wiper stalk to the stop position. 
The blade on the driver’s side must 
always be above the passenger blade. 
If this is not the case, a quick sweep of 
the windscreen wipers should be per-
formed once the vehicle is travelling at 
over 4 mph (7 km/h).– In frosty weather, make 
sure that the wiper blades 
are not stuck by ice (to 
avoid the risk of the motor 
overheating or damaging the 
blades).
–   Check the condition of the wiper 
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon 
as they begin to lose efficiency 
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care 
not to drop the arm onto the window 
after it has been removed as this 
may break the window.
Note: before restarting your vehicle, 
lower the windscreen wiper blades 
onto the windscreen to avoid any risk 
of damaging the bonnet or the wipers.
