Wipers (replacing the blades)

Replacing the front wiper blade 1

With the ignition on and the engine off, fully lower the wiper control stalk: the wipers stop in a position clear of the bonnet.

Lift the wiper arm 3, pull the tab 2 (movement A) and push the blade upwards.

Refitting

Slide the blade onto the arm until it clicks. Make sure the blade is properly locked. Return the wiper control stalk to the off position.

Rear wiper blade 4

• Lift the wiper arm 6;
• rotate blade 4 until you feel resistance (movement C);
• depending on the vehicle, press tab 5, then remove the blade by pulling it (movement B).

Refitting

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

Make sure the blade is locked securely in place.

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;
• free them from 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).
• Monitor the condition of the blades. Replace them as soon as their effectiveness decreases: approximately every year.

  When replacing a blade, once it has been removed, take care not to let the arm drop onto the glass: risk of breaking the glass.
