BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
with suitable liquid, DP1is recom-
mended.
Change the blades if the rubber edge
is warped or worn out. You should in
any case change them approximately
once a year.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/
rear window wipers on dry glass.
Changing the windscreen wiper
blades (fig. 8)
1)Lift windscreen wiper arm Aoff
the glass and position the blade so as
to form a right angle with the arm.
2)Press tab Bof the coupling spring
and remove the blade to be replaced
from arm A.3)Fit the new blade by inserting the
tab into the special hole in the arm.
Make sure it is properly locked into
place.
Replacing the rear window
wiper blade (fig. 9)
1)Lift the cover A.
Travelling with worn
wiper blades is dangerous
because it reduces visibil-
ity in bad weather.
