Wiper Blades - Porsche Cayenne Owner's Manual

Wiper Blades

Maintenance Notes
Wiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital
for a clear view.
f Replace the wiper blades twice per year
(before and after the cold season) or if wiper
performance deteriorates or the blades are
damaged.
f For important information on "service topics":
Please see the chapter "CAR CARE
INSTRUCTIONS" on Page 270.
Caution!
Risk of damage if wiper arm accidentally
falls back onto the windshield.
f Always hold the wiper arm securely when
replacing the wiper blade.
Risk of damage if wiper blades that are
frozen in place are loosened improperly.
f Thaw the wiper blades before loosening them.
Risk of damage.
If the wiper blades are not changed properly,
they can come loose when the car is moving.
f Check whether the wiper blades are seated
securely.
The wiper blade must be pushed onto the
wiper arm up to the stop.
f Periodically clean the wiper blades with
window cleaner, especially after the vehicle
has been washed in a car wash.
We recommend the Porsche window cleaner. If
they are very dirty (e.g. with insect remains),
they can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth.
If the wiper blades rub or squeak, this may be as
a result of the following:
– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, wax residues may adhere to the wind-
shield. These wax residues can be removed
only by using window cleaner concentrate.
f Please see the chapter "WASHER FLUID" on
Page 258.
Please contact your authorized Porsche dealer for
further information.
– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.
f Replace damaged or worn wiper blades as
soon as possible.
Replacing wiper blades at front
f Apply the parking brake.
f Switch the windshield wipers off (wiper stalk in
position 0).
f Switch ignition off.
1. Fold windshield wiper arm away from the
windshield (arrow 1).
