blades

The windscreen wiper blades are supplied as
standard with a layer of graphite. This layer is
responsible for ensuring that the wipe is si-
lent. If the graphite layer is damaged, the
noise of the water as it is wiped across the
windscreen will be louder.
Check the condition of the wiper blades regu-
larly.
If the wipers scrape across the glass,
they
shou
ld be changed if they are damaged,
or cleaned if they are dirty ›››
.
Damaged wiper blades should be replaced
immediately. These are available from quali-
fied workshops.
