Replacing windscreen wiper blades 2

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.

Before changing the wiper blade, make sure the stalk is in the stop position (deactivated).

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.
