that has collected on the windscreen can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when

be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windscreen with washer fluid after an auto-

! Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-

vated inadvertently. This could damage the
windscreen wiper blades or scratch the
windscreen.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windscreen wipers in dry weather.
