WIPER BLADES

Blade inspection

Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
• Use petrol, kerosene, paint thin-
ner, or other solvents on or near
them.
• Attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
i
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windscreen diffi-
cult to clean.
Information
i
Wiper blades are consumable item
and normal wear of the wipers may
not be covered by your vehicle war-
ranty.

Blade replacement

When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-
ally.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
NOTICE
• In order to prevent damage to
the bonnet and the wiper arms,
the wiper arms should only be
lifted when in the top wiping
position.
• Always return the wiper arms to
the windscreen before driving.
