- clean them regularly using soapy water,

- avoid using them to retain cardboard on the windscreen,

- replace them at the fi rst signs of wear.

This position permits release of the windscreen wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement of the blades. It can also be
useful, in winter, to detach the blades from the windscreen.
