Wiper
Wiper Blade
Grease, silicon and petroleum prod-
ucts can easily impair the wiping
effect of the wiper blades. Wash the wiper
blades in the warm soapy water and check
their conditions regularly.
Wash the windshield frequently and avoid
using the wiper blades to scrape off the
mud and sand on the windshield, as such
operation may reduce the wiping effect of
the wiper blades and shorten their life.
If you find that the rubber is hardened or
cracked, or the wiper leaves a scratch on
the window or cannot wipe certain areas,
you should replace the wiper blade.
Clean the windshield with approved glass
cleaner regularly and make sure that the
windshield is thoroughly cleaned before the
wiper blade is replaced.
Only use a wiper blade with the same spec-
ification as that of the original wiper.
If the wiper or windshield is covered by ice
or snow or frozen, remove the ice or snow
on the wiper and glass before using the
wiper to avoid wiper damage.
When the windshield is dry or there are
hard objects on its surface, do not use the
wiper. Otherwise, this may damage the
wiper blade and the windshield.
