11.1.8 Windscreen washer system and windscreen wipers
„
Check the correct functioning of windscreen washer system and wind-
screen wipers periodically.
„
Check the filling level of the washer fluid container periodically. Only if suf-
ficient cleaning fluid reaches the windscreen, the windscreen wipers will be
able to clean it in a satisfactory way. A clear view contributes decisively to
safe driving.
„
Before the frost period starts, fill the washer fluid container with windscreen
cleaning product containing sufficient frost protection.
„
Refill windscreen washing fluid on time. Only use clean water to dilute the
windscreen cleaning product.
„
Remove insect residues from the windscreen blades as soon as possible.
„
Clean the windscreen blades periodically with a windscreen cleaning
product. To do this, move a sponge or a cloth along the rubber strip.
„
Remove car wax residues after the vehicle washing using a wax dissolving
windscreen cleaning product.
„
Remove dirt accumulations on the nozzles of the windscreen washer
system periodically.
„
After journeys on heavily soiled roads, spray clear water on the wiper noz-
zles to prevent incrustations.
„
Clean obstructed wiper nozzles with a fine needle.
11.1.9 Entrance step
If the entrance step is lubricated, coarse particles of dirt can settle on the lubri-
cant during the journey and cause damage to the operating mechanism of the
entrance step. Therefore, do not lubricate the moving parts of the entrance
step.
Z
Only fill the cleaning agents (with/without frost protection) into the washer
fluid container which are listed in the operating manual of the base vehicle
manufacturer and in the mixing ratio specified therein. Do not use any radi-
ator frost protection or other products. These products affect the cleaning
effect and attack the windscreen blades.
Z
Do not switch the windscreen washer system or the windscreen wipers on
when the windscreen blades are frozen to the windscreen. Release the
windscreen blades first using a defrosting product.
Z
Do not remove the snow accumulated on the windscreen with the wind-
screen wipers. Remove the snow from the windscreen with a brush first.
Z
Do not switch on the windscreen wipers on a dry windscreen.
Z
Do not clean the windscreen wiper mechanics and the windscreen wiper
motor with a steam blaster.
