Windscreen wipers
74
If it is necessary to operate the windscreen
wipers/rear window wiper in dry weather
conditions, always use washer fluid.
! If the windscreen wipers leave smears on
the windscreen/rear window after the vehi-
cle has been washed in an automatic car
wash, this may be due to wax or other res-
idue. Clean the windscreen/rear window
with washer fluid after an automatic car
wash.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windscreen
will no longer be wiped properly. This could
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident. Replace
the wiper blades twice a year, ideally in spring
and autumn.
