Replacement
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the wipers in
an active position (right multifunction
lever in any position different than
“OFF”) and with the key in the
ignition switch in the MAR (ON)
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area’s
weather conditions where the car is
used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions
are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodically
with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause
deterioration of the wiper blades.
