Wiper Blades: Replacement
Wiper Blades: Replacement
WARNING
- In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (to avoid the risk of the motor overheating).
- Check the condition of the wiper blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon as they begin to lose efficiency (approximately once
a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care not to drop the arm onto the window after it
has been removed as this may break the window.
Tip
Check the condition of the wiper blades. You are responsible for their service life:
- clean the blades and the windscreen regularly with soap and water;
- do not use them when the windscreen is dry;
- free them from the windscreen when they have not been used for a long time.
To access the wiper blades, stand on the foot panel 1.
Note: the foot panel may be slippery.
Replacing windscreen wiper blades 2
With the ignition on and the ignition switched off, lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully: the wipers stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
- Lift the wiper arm 4;
- pivot the wiper blade until it is horizontal;
- press the tab 3 and slide the wiper blade downwards to release the hook 5 from the wiper arm;
- slide the blade A then move it upwards B to remove it.
Refitting
To refit the wiper blade, proceed in the reverse order to removal. Make sure that
the blade is correctly locked in position.
