Notes on changing wiper blades
G
Risk of injury
Remove the key from the ignition lock be-
fore replacing the wiper blades. The wind-
screen wipers could otherwise be set in mo-
tion and injure you.
G
Risk of accident
Wiper blades are wear parts. Replace the
wiper blades twice a year, ideally in the
spring and in the autumn. The windows will
otherwise not be properly wiped. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident.
!
Under no circumstances should you open
the bonnet when a wiper arm is folded away
from the windscreen. Otherwise, you could
damage the bonnet.
Place wiper arms on the windscreen carefully if
they do not have a wiper blade fitted. They may
otherwise damage the windscreen.
