WINDSCREEN
WIPER
It is advisable to replace the blade
about once a year.
136)
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blade:
❒ if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber to the glass. Use an
antifreeze product to release it if
required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass;
❒ do not operate the windscreen wiper
on dry glass.
IMPORTANT Do not lift the arm of the
windscreen wiper when it is in its initial
rest position. Refer to the following
instructions to lift the windscreen wiper
blade correctly.
Lifting blade
If it is necessary to lift the blade from
the windscreen (e.g. in the event of
snow or if the blade needs
replacement) proceed as follows:
❒ turn ring nut A fig. 129 to
off);
❒ turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and
then to STOP;
129
❒ after turning the ignition key to STOP,
within 2 minutes move the right stalk
upwards, into unstable ("anti-panic")
position, for at least half a second.
The windscreen wiper then executes
part of a stroke; at each command,
approximately 1/3 of a normal wiper
stroke is triggered.
❒ the previous operation can be
repeated up to 3 times, in order to
move the blade to the most suitable
position;
❒ lift the blade from the windscreen and
proceed with the required operation;
❒ lower the blade, bringing it into
contact with the windscreen;
❒ bring the blade to the initial rest
(wiper
position, turning the ignition key
to MAR-ON.
