WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES
Replacing windscreen wiper blades 1
With the ignition on and the engine stopped:
- for vehicles equipped with the automatic windscreen wiper function, lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully: they stop slightly away from the bonnet;
- lift the wiper arm 2;
- press the button firmly 3 then remove the blade 1.
To refit
To refit the wiper blade 1, insert it in its housing in the arm 2, then clip it until you hear a click. Make sure that the blade is correctly locked in position.
On vehicles equipped with the automatic windscreen wiper function, raise the windscreen wiper stalk: the windscreen wiper blades will settle down in the bonnet.
Check the condition of the wiper blades. You are responsible for their service life:
- clean the blades, windscreen and rear screen regularly with soapy water;
- do not use them when the windscreen or rear screen are dry;
- free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not been used for a long time.
- 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).
