Wiper blades: replacement
WARNING
- In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (risk of 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.
