A few simple precautions can reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades:
WINDSCREEN/
A
REAR WINDOW WIPER
(where provided)
❒ make sure that the rubber part is not
stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero
temperatures. Use an antifreeze prod-
uct to release it if required.

❒ remove the snow from the window:
this will avoid overstressing the elec-
trical motor in addition to protecting
the blades;
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
fig. 10
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is de-
formed or worn. In all cases, it is advis-
able to replace them approximately once
a year.
❒ do not operate the windscreen and the
rear screen wipers on dry glass.
Replacing the
windscreen wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒ lift the windscreen wiper arm and posi-
tion the blade so that it forms an angle
of 90° with the arm itself;
WARNING
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
❒ exert pressure on the straps A-fig. 10
and remove the blade arm;
❒ install the new blade by inserting the
straps into the supplied housings of the
arm. Make sure that the new blade is
secured in position.
