to refit
To refit the wiper blade, proceed in re-
verse order to removal. Make sure that
the blade is correctly locked in position.
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades, windscreen and
c
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
5
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency (ap-
proximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
