4. Usage and Maintenance
After maintaining the car body surface, the wax
remaining on the glass shall be removed by
special cleanser and cleaning cloth to prevent
wiper blades from being scratched.
Remove the snow on the windows and rear-view
mirrors with a bristle brush.
Remove ice using the special deicing spray. You
can also remove the ice using the scraper with
extra care to avoid damage to the components. Be
sure to scrape the ice in the same direction.
Caution
•
Do not scrape the ice back and forth.
•
Do not use warm or hot water to
remove the ice and snow on the
windows and rear-view mirrors. Doing
so may crack the glass.
Cleaning the Front Wiper Blades
-
Switch the Start or Ignition switch to “ON”
gear, and then to “OFF/LOCK” gear.
-
Within 10s after finishing the last step, move
the wiper combination switch to
gear.
By this time, the wiper arm will move for half
circle.
-
Lift the wiper arm and carefully remove the
dust and dirt from the wiper blade with a soft
cloth.
-
Then slowly lower the wiper arm back to the
windshield.
-
Switch the Start or Ignition switch to “ON”
gear again, making the wiper arm back to its
original position automatically.
Caution
•
When lifting the wiper arm, grasp the
hard support by hand, and do not grasp
soft wiper blade.
•
Carefully lower the wiper arm to
prevent striking the windshield due to
instantaneous drop.
•
Replace the damaged blade in time.
•
A new wiper blade surface is coated
with a layer of graphite which can make
the wiper blade move smoothly without
scratching noise. Damaged graphite
layer may increase scratching noises.
Be sure to repair it timely.
•
Cleaner with solvent, hard sponge and
sharp tools will damage the graphite
layer.
•
In winter or cold weather, check
whether the wiper blades are frozen
with the windshield before operating
them. If so, remove the ice from the
wiper blades firstly. Failure to do so
may cause damage to the wiper blades
and the wiper motor.
