Lights and Visibility78
– Take off the wiper blade in direction of arrow ⇒ page 77, fig. 56
⇒ .
Attaching a wiper blade
– Push the new wiper blade over the wiper arm and turn the
wiper blade into the vertical position.
– Check whether the wiper blade is correctly attached.
– Fold the windscreen wiper arms onto the window and switch
on the ignition - the windscreen wiper arms move back into the
rest position.
Windscreen wiper blades in proper condition are essential to obtain good
visibility. Wiper blades should not be allowed to become dirtied by dust,
insect remains and preserving wax.
Juddering or smearing of the wiper blades could then be due to wax resi-
dues left on the windscreen by vehicle washing in automatic vehicle wash
systems. It is therefore important to degrease the lips of the winscreen
wiper blades after every pass through an automatic vehicle wash
system.
WARNING
• The ignition must not be switched on if the front windscreen
wiper arms are folded out. The wiper blades would move back into
their rest position and while doing so damage the paintwork of the
bonnet.
• If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk
of damage to the windscreen.
• You should clean the wiper blades regularly with a windscreen
cleaner in order to avoid any smears. Clean a wiper blade with a
sponge or cloth if it is very dirty, for example from insect residues.
• Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for
safety reasons. Windscreen wiper blades are available from Škoda
dealers.
