the vicinity of the battery.
Wiper blade replacement
Lift wiper arm. Press release lever
and detach wiper blade.
Properly functioning windscreen
wipers are essential for clear vision
and safe driving. Regularly check the
condition of the wiper blades.
Replace hard, brittle or cracked
blades or those that smear dirt on the
windscreen.
Foreign material on the windscreen or
wiper blades can reduce the
effectiveness of the wipers. If the
blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the windscreen and the blades
with a good cleaner or mild detergent.
Rinse them thoroughly with water.
Repeat the process, if necessary.
There is no way to remove traces of
silicone from glass. Therefore, never
apply polish with silicone to your
vehicle’s windscreen or you will get
streaks which will impair the driver’s
vision.
Do not use solvents, gasoline,
kerosene, or paint thinner to clean
wipers. These are harsh and can
damage the blades and painted
surfaces.
Bulb replacement
Switch off the ignition and switch off
the relevant switch or close the doors.
Only hold a new bulb at the base! Do
not touch the bulb glass with bare
hands.
Use only the same bulb type for
replacement.
Replace headlight bulbs from within
the engine compartment.
Note
After driving in heavy rain or after
washing, some exterior light lenses
could appear frosty.
This condition is caused by the
temperature difference between the
inside and outside of the light.
This is similar to the condensation
on your windows inside your vehicle
during the rain and doesn't indicate
a problem with your vehicle.
If the water leaks into the light bulb
circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by your authorised workshop.
