Car care and technical information

Wipers and washers

Check and clean all wiper blades regularly.
We recommend Saab washer fluid for
cleaning.
If poor wiper performance is experienced,
clean the windshield with Saab washer fluid.
This is particularly important if the car has
been through an automatic car wash, as
these sometimes leave a wax coating on the
windshield.
If wiper performance is still unsatisfactory,
fit new blades.

Changing headlamp-wiper blades

1 Lift the wiper arm off the headlamp.

straight down, at right angles to the
wiper arm.

To fit the new blade, slot the blade into the
retainer on the wiper arm, and press it firmly
home.
