Replacing the wiper blades

wipe or the rain/light sensor is active, the
windshield wipers could start moving at any
time and injure you or others.
Always remove the key from the ignition lock
before replacing the wiper blades.
G
Warning
Wiper blades are wear parts. Change the
wiper blades every six months, ideally in the
spring and fall. Otherwise, the windshield and
rear window will not be wiped properly. This
may prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident.
! Do not open the hood when a wiper arm
is folded away from the windshield.
Otherwise, you could damage the hood.
Do not fold the wiper arms back onto the
windshield without wiper blades fitted as
this could scratch the windshield.
! Only touch the windshield wiper where it
connects to the wiper arm. You could
otherwise damage the wiper blade inserts.
