Maintenance 7-17

Windscreen wipers

Note:
1. The wiper blades will be renewed at

every service interval.

2. Use Jaguar Screen Clean Paste to

remove contamination from the

windscreen to ensure effective wiping

or if smearing or juddering becomes

evident. A more aggressive cleaning

agent may be required to remove

stubborn contamination. Contact a

Jaguar Dealer for advice.

To ensure that the windscreen remains

smear free, the washer system should be

operated whenever the wiper is used,

even when it is raining.

Windscreen wiper blades –
inspect and clean

Lift the wiper blades clear of the

windscreen and wipe the blades with a

clean, soft cloth moistened with water to

which a mild liquid detergent has been

added.
Inspect the wiper blades, and if there any

signs of wear or damage; renew the

blades.
Renew the wiper blades before and after

each winter, or more often if required.

Wiper blade renewal

Move the wiper arm away from the

windscreen, squeeze the retaining clip

and withdraw the wiper blade from the

arm. After fitting the new blade, check

that it is held firmly in position.

Reposition the wiper arm and blade onto

the screen.

Windscreen washers

Two windscreen washer nozzles are

mounted on the bonnet. Each nozzle

directs two spray patterns to the

windscreen.
Note: The windscreen wiper jets and

headlamp washer jets are not adjustable.
