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 should be changed if they are damaged,
or cleaned if they are dirty

iper blades should be replaced
immediately. These are available from quali-
fied workshops.
WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility
and incre
ase the risk of accident and serious
injury.

Always replace damaged or worn blades or
blades which do not clean the windscreen
correctly.
CAUTION
●
Damaged or dir
ty windscreen wipers could
scratch the glass.
●
If products containing solvents, rough
sponges or sharp objects are used to clean
the blades, the graphite layer will be dam-
aged.
●
Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint
thinner or similar products to clean the win-
dows.
CAUTION
●
To prev
ent damage to the bonnet and the
wiper arms, only leave them in the service

If wax deposits, other cleaning products from
the automatic
car wash, or other care prod-
ucts, are left on the windscreen and the rear
window, the blades can scratch the glass. Re-
move wax deposits with a special product or
cle
aning cloths.
