Wipers (replacing the blades)

WIPER BLADES

Replacing the front wiper blade 1

Ignition on, engine off:

• for vehicles equipped with automatic wipers, fully lower the wiper control stalk: the wiper arms stop in a position clear of the bonnet;
• lift the wiper arm 2;
• rotate the blade 1.

Lower the tab 3, pressing on each side A.

Then push the blade forward B until it releases from hook 4.

Refitting

To refit the wiper blade, follow the same steps in reverse.

Make sure the blade is locked securely in place.

For vehicles equipped with automatic wipers, fully raise the wiper control stalk: the front wiper arms will return under the bonnet.

Check the condition of the wiper blades regularly.

Their service life depends on you:

• clean the blades, the windscreen and the rear window regularly with soapy water;
• do not use them when the windscreen or rear window is dry;
• lift them off the windscreen or rear window when they have not been used for a long time.
• In freezing weather, make sure the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass (risk of motor overheating).
• Check the condition of the blades. Replace them as soon as their efficiency decreases: approximately every year.

When replacing the blade, do not let the arm drop onto the glass once the blade is removed: risk of breaking the glass.

• With the ignition off, lift the rear wiper arm 6;
• remove the blade 5 by pulling it.
