Switching the windshield wipers on/

!

Do not operate the windshield wipers

when the windshield is dry, as this could

damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust

that has collected on the windshield can

scratch the glass if wiping takes place when

the windshield is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield

wipers in dry weather conditions, always

use washer fluid when operating the

windshield wipers.

!

If the windshield wipers leave smears on

the windshield after the vehicle has been

washed in an automatic car wash, wax or

other residues may be the reason for this.

Clean the windshield using washer fluid

after washing the vehicle in an automatic

windshield wiper blades or scratch the

windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch

off the windshield wipers in dry weather.
