Note: Before operating the wipers, fully defrost the windscreen.

Note: Before entering an automatic car wash, make sure the wiper blades are switched off.

Note: Replace the wiper blades as soon as they start leaving streaks of water and dirt on the windscreen.

Note: Do not operate the wipers when the windscreen is dry. This could scratch the glass, damage the blades or burn out the wiper motor. Always use the washer system before wiping a dry windscreen.
