Changing The Windscreen Wiper Blade; Changing The Rear Window Wiper Blade - Fiat 600 Owner's Manual

Never operate the wind-
screen wiper with blades
locked to the windscreen:
risk of windscreen wiper motor
overheating / damaging.
Some simple steps can reduce po-
tential damage to the blades:
– If the temperature falls to below
zero, make sure the rubber blade is
not frozen to the windscreen. If nec-
essary, free it with a de-icing com-
pound.
– Remove any snow that has settled
on the glass: besides saving the blades
you will avoid straining the electric
windscreen wiper motor and causing
it to overheat.
– Do not operate the windscreen or
rear window wipers on dry glass.
