Using the windscreen wipers
88
If it is necessary to switch on the wind-
screen wipers in dry weather conditions,
always operate them using washer fluid.
!
Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
screen becomes dirty in dry weather con-
ditions, the windscreen wipers may be
activated inadvertently. This could dam-
age the windscreen wiper blades or
scratch the windscreen.
For this reason, you should always
switch off the windscreen wipers in dry
weather.
!
Make sure that the windscreen wipers
are free of ice. Otherwise the wiper motor
may overheat.
Wiper blades are subject to wear and tear.
smart recommends replacing the wiper
blades twice a year. Worn or damaged
windscreen wiper blades cause smearing on
the windscreen. On vehicles with a rain
sensor, malfunctions may occur as a result
of this.
