severe injuries.

Always change wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the window
properly.

Do not use any detergents containing solvents, hard sponges and other sharp objects, as
they can damage the graphite coating of the wiper blades during cleaning.

Wax deposits on the windscreen and rear window could cause the wiper blades to rub.
Remove wax residue using a special cleaning product or cleaning cloths.
