In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
■
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor.
Carefully release the frozen-on windscreen wiper blades from the wind-
■
screen and remove snow and ice.
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is the risk of damaging the
■
windscreen with the windscreen wiper arms.
Do not switch on the ignition when the front windscreen wiper arms are fol-
■
ded down - there is the danger of damaging the bonnet by the windscreen
wiper arms.

The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than +10 °C.
