Windscreen wiper and rear
window wiper systems
Introduction
WARNING
Water from the windscreen washer water bot-
tle may freeze on the windscreen if it does
not contain enough anti-freeze, reducing for-
ward visibility.
●
In winter, ensure the windscreen washer
contains enough anti-freeze.
●
In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the ventilation system.
The antifreeze could freeze on the windscreen
and reduce visibility.
WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility
and increase the risk of accident and serious
injury.
●
Always replace damaged or worn blades or
blades which do not clean the windscreen
correctly.
CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the glass before us-
ing the wipers for the first time. In cold
weather, it may help to leave the vehicle
parked with the wipers in service position
