Efficiency of a wiper blade
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. How long they last depends
on you:
– it must remain clean: clean the
blade and the screen regularly
with soapy water;
– do not use it when the screen is
dry;
– free it from the screen when it has
not been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace it as soon as
it begins to lose efficiency: approxi-
mately once a year. ➥ 5.37.
Precautions for using the
wipers
– In freezing or snowy weather,
clear the screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor over-
heating);
– ensure that no objects are ob-
structing the travel of the blade.
