WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES
Replacing windscreen wiper blades 2
To replace the wipers, first put them in the service position B.
With the ignition on and the engine stopped:
- lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully (fast continuous wipe position). The wiper arms stop in a position B away from the bonnet;
- press the button 4 firmly then remove the blade upwards.
To refit
To refit the wiper blade 2, insert it in its housing in the arm 3, then clip it until you hear a click. Make sure that the blade is correctly locked in position.
To return the blades to lowered position, make sure that the blades are folded down onto the windscreen then set the 1 stalk to position A (single sweep): the windscreen wiper blades will fold into the bonnet when the ignition is switched on.
Keep monitoring the condition of the wiper blades. How long they last depends on you:
- clean the blades and the windscreen regularly with soapy 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.

Keep monitoring the condition of the wiper blades. How long they last depends on you:
- clean the blades and the windscreen regularly with soapy water;

- 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.
They should be replaced as soon as they become less efficient: approximately once a year.
When changing the blade, when it has been removed, do not let the wiper arm fall against the window: risk of breaking the window.
Before changing the rear wiper blade, make sure the stalk is in the stop position (deactivated).
Risk of injury.
