WARNING
If the windshield wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiper blades, you could be trapped by the wiper arm. There is a risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.
! Never open the hood if a windshield wiper
arm has been folded away from the wind-
shield.
Never fold a windshield wiper arm without a
wiper blade back onto the windshield/rear window. Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release
the windshield wiper arm without a wiper
blade and it falls onto the windshield, the
windshield may be damaged by the force of
the impact.
We recommend that you have the wiper
blades replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop.
! Only hold the wiper blade by the wiper
arm. You could otherwise damage the
wiper rubber.
The windshield will no longer be wiped prop-
erly if the wiper blades are worn. Replace the
wiper blades twice a year, ideally in spring and
fall. Front windshield wiper arm with wiper blade
