off the windscreen wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the

quency is automatically set according to the
intensity of the rain. In the
Å
position, the
rain sensor is more sensitive than in
the

wipers to wipe more frequently.

WARNING
The wiper arms could start moving and cause
an injury if you leave the windscreen wipers
switched on.
Remove the key from the ignition lock before
replacing the wiper blades.

To avoid damaging the windscreen wiper
blades, make sure that you touch only the
wiper arm of the windscreen wiper.

Never open the bonnet if a windscreen
wiper arm has been folded away from the
windscreen.
Never fold a windscreen wiper arm without
a wiper blade back onto the windscreen/
rear window.
Hold the windscreen wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release
the windscreen wiper arm without a wiper
blade and it falls onto the windscreen, the
windscreen may be damaged by the force
of the impact.

the wiper blades changed at a qualified
