Special position of the
windscreen wipers

To maintain the effectiveness
of the "fl at-blade" type of wiper
blades, it is advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using
soapy water,

- avoid using them to retain
cardboard on the wind-
screen,

- 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.




Any action on the wiper stalk in the
minute after switching off the igni-
tion places the blades vertically on
the screen.


To park the blades again, switch on
the ignition and operate the wiper
stalk.
