Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean
the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.
In frosty weather, make sure that
the wiper blades are not stuck by ice
(risk of motor overheating).
