Maintenance
Wipers
Windscreen Wiper Blades
IMPORTANT
• Grease, silicon and petrol based products impair the
blade’s wiping capability. Wash the wiper blades
in warm soapy water and periodically check their
condition.
• Clean the windscreen frequently, DO NOT use
wipers to remove stubborn or ingrained dirt, it will
reduce their effect and their life span.
• If signs of hardness or cracking in the rubber are
found, or if the wipers leave streaks or unwiped
areas on the screen, then the wiper blades should
be replaced.
• Clean the windscreen regularly with an approved
glass cleaner and ensure the screen is thoroughly
cleaned before fitting replacement wiper blades.
• Only fit replacement wiper blades that are identical
to the original specification.
• Clean ice and snow from around wipers and ensure
they are not frozen or otherwise sticking to the
windscreen before attempting to operate them.
