WARNING

The windscreenwill not longer be wiped prop-

erly if the wiper blades are worn.This could

prevent you from observing the traffic condi-

tions, thereby causing an accident. Replace

the wiper blades twice a year, ideally in spring

and autumn.

Do not operate the windscreen wipers

when the windscreen is dry, as this could

damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust

that has collected on the windscreen can

scratch the glass if wiping takes place when

the windscreen is dry.

If it is necessary to switch on the wind-

screen wipers in dry weather conditions,

always operate them using washer fluid.

If the windscreen wipers leave smears on

the windscreen after the vehicle has been

washed in an automatic car wash, this may

be due to wax or other residue. Cleanthe

matic car wash.
