WIPER BLADES
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
Replacing windscreen wiper
blades 1
– With the ignition off , lift the wiper
arm 3 ;
– move the blade into a horizontal po-
sition;
– press tab 2 and slide the wiper blade
downwards to release hook 4 from
the wiper arm;
– slide the blade ( A ) then lift it ( B ) to
release it.
For refitting, proceed in the reverse
order and ensure that the blade is cor-
rectly clipped on.
– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency

Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
