Blade replacement

When the wipers no longer clean adequately, the blades may be worn or cracked. Replace the wipers with new ones.

To prevent damage:

  • Never use non-specified wiper blades.

  • Lift the wiper arms when in the top wiping position.

  • Always return the wiper arms to the windscreen before driving.
