Windshield wipers
Clean the rubber parts regularly using
the appropriate products.
Change the blades if the edge of the
rubber is deformed or worn. In any
case, the blades should be changed
about once a year.
Traveling with worn wiper
blades is very dangerous
because it reduces the
visibility in the event of poor
atmospheric conditions.
The arms of the wiper
blade have to be replaced
with new ones after
two disassembling operations.
The special arm fixing system
helps ensure optimal mechanical
stability only after the first two
refitting operations, provided that
the specified tightening torque is
observed.
We recommend therefore
that you have any operations
involving the removal of the
windshield wiper arms performed by
your Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Some simple measures may reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades.
- In the case of temperatures below
32°F (0 °C), check that ice has not
stuck the rubber part against the
windshield glass. If necessary,
release with an anti-ice product.
- Remove any snow on the
windshield: in addition to
protecting the blades, this avoids
forcing and overheating the electric
motor.
- Do not activate the windshield
wipers when the windshield is dry.
Spray nozzles
If the jet does not work, first check
that there is fluid in the pan (see
“Level checks” in this section) then
check that the nozzles are not
clogged.
Replacing the wiper blades
Due to the difficulty of this operation,
we recommend that you contact
your
Authorized Maserati Dealer for
replacement.
