202 Car care and technical information
Wipers and washers
Check and clean all wiper blades regularly.
If poor wiper performance is experienced,
clean the windshield with
a quality glass
cleaner. 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.
