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.

Please observe the chapter "CAR CARE

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 se-
curely.
The wiper blade must be pushed onto the wi-
per 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
windshield. These wax residues can be
removed only by using window cleaner concen-
trate.
Please observe the chapter "WASHER FLUID"
on Page 284.
Please contact your authorized Porsche dealer
for further information.

shield.
