WIPERS

BLADES

Periodically clean the rubber part us-

ing special products; TUTELA PRO-

FESSIONAL SC 35 is recommend-

ed. 

If the rubber blades are bent or worn

they should be replaced. In any case

they should be changed once a year.

A few simple notions can reduce the

possibility of damage to the blades:

– If the temperature falls to below

zero, make sure the rubber blade is

not frozen to the windscreen. If nec-

essary, free it with a de-icing com-

pound.

Driving with worn wiper

blades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is re-

duced in bad weather.

– Remove any snow that has settled

on the glass: besides saving the blades

you will avoid straining the electric

windscreen wiper motor and causing

it to overheat.

– Do not operate the windscreen or

rear window wipers on dry glass.
