Changing windscreen wiper blades

Fig. 171 Changing the windscreen wiper
blade.
Perfect wiper blade condition is essential for
clear vision. Damaged wiper blades should
be replaced immediately.
To change the blades it is necessary to move
the wipers from the rest position into the
service position.
Do not change the windscreen wipers when
out of the service position, as it could cause
paint to flake off the bonnet due to friction
with the windscreen wiper arm.
Service position (for changing wiper blades)
–
Ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen.
–
Turn the ignition on and off and then (with-
in approximately 9 seconds) push the
windscreen wiper lever down (short wipe).

Fitting the wiper blade
–
Insert the wiper blade onto the windscreen
wiper arm until it clicks into place.
–
Place the windscreen wiper arms to their in-
itial position.
If the windscreen wipers scratch, they should
be replaced if they are damaged, or cleaned
if they are soiled.
If this does not produce the desired results,
the setting angle of the windscreen wiper
arms might be incorrect. They should be
checked by a specialised workshop and cor-
rected if necessary.
WARNING
Do not drive unless you have good visibility
through all windows!
●
Clean the windscreen wiper blades and all
windows regularly.
●
The wiper blades should be changed once
or twice a year.
CAUTION
●
Damaged or dirty windscreen wipers could
scratch the windscreen.
●
Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint
thinner or similar products to clean the win-
dows. This could damage the windscreen
wiper blades.
●
Never move the windscreen wiper or wind-
screen wiper arm manually. This could cause
damage.
●
To prevent damage to the bonnet and the
windscreen wiper arms, the latter should only
be lifted off the windscreen when in service
position.
