WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed
or worn. In any case, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year. A few simple
precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to
the blades:
❒ if the temperature falls below zero, make sure
that ice has not frozen the rubber against the
glass. Use an antifreeze product to release it
if required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on
the motor and overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen/rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
Replacing the wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒ lift up the windscreen wiper arm and position the
blade so that it forms a 90° angle with the arm;
❒ press tab A fig. 212 of the coupling spring and
remove the blade to be replaced from the arm;
❒ fit the new blade by inserting the tab into the
special slot in the arm. Make sure that the new
blade is secured in position.
