periodically
lithium-based grease to ensure correct, silent

Windshield Wiper
system.
Some
Periodically clean the windshield and rear
window and rubber profile of the windshield
wiper blades, using a sponge or a soft cloth
and a non-abrasive detergent. This eliminates
the salt or impurities accumulated when
driving.
Prolonged operation of the windshield window
wipers with dry glass may cause the deteriora-
tion of the blades, in addition to abrasion of
the surface of the glass. To eliminate the impu-
rities on the dry glass, always operate the
windshield washers.
In the event of very low outdoor temperatures,
lubricated
with
below 0°F (-17.8°C) , ensure that the move-
ment of the rubber part in contact with the
glass is not obstructed. Use a suitable deicing
product to release it if required.
Avoid using the windshield wipers to remove
frost or ice.
Also avoid contact of the rubber profile of the
blades with petroleum derivatives such as
engine oil, gas, etc.
WARNING!
Driving with worn windshield wiper blades is
a serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather conditions.
NOTE:
The life of the windshield wiper blades varies
according to the usage frequency. In any case,
it is advised to replace the blades approxi-
mately once a year. When the blades are worn,
noise, marks on the glass or streaks of water
may be noticed. In the presence of these
conditions, clean the windshield wiper blades
or, if necessary, replace them.
Raising
The
Windshield
("Service Position" Function)
The "service position" function allows the
driver to replace the windshield wiper blades
more easily. It is also recommended to acti-
vate this function when it is snowing and to
make it easier to remove any dirt deposits in
the area where the blades are normally posi-
tioned, when washing.
