WINDSCREEN/REARS
CREEN WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn
they should be replaced. In any case they
should be changed once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
– If the temperature falls below zero
make sure that ice has not frozen the rub-
ber against the glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product.
– Remove any snow from the glass: in
addition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and overheat-
ing.
– Do not operate the windscreen and
rearscreen wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious haz-
ard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.
