The windscreen wiper blades are supplied as
standard with a layer of graphite. This layer is
responsible for ensuring that the wipe is silent.
If the graphite layer is damaged, the noise of
the water as it is wiped across the windscreen
will be louder.
Check the condition of the wiper blades reg-
ularly.
If the wipers scrape across the
glass , they should be changed if they are
damaged, or cleaned if they are dirty

checked by a specialised workshop and cor-
rected if necessary.

ble from qualified workshops.
