Windscreen wiper
Clear vision is essential for safe driving.
Perform regular checks on the wiper to
ensure it is operating correctly. We
recommend wiper b lade replacement a t
least once a year.
If the windsc re en is dirty, operate the
windscreen wash system before switching
on the wiper or setting the wiper to
automatic operation with the rain
sensor 3. This will avoid wiper blade wear.
Do not switch on the windscreen wiper if
th e wind scre en is dry or ob structed (e.g.
with snow or ice), as this could damage the
glass, the wiper bla des, or the wiper
system.
If the wiper bec om es frozen on to the glass,
we recomm end that it be rele ased with the
aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray before
starting the vehicle, to p revent wiper motor
dam age.
Smearing wiper blades c an be cleaned with
a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen
Wash Solvent.
Wiper blades whose lips have become
hardened, crack ed or covered with silicone
must be replaced. This may be necessary
as a result of the effects of ic e, thawing salt
or heat, or the incorrect use of cleaning
agents.
Switc h off the wiper in car washes –
see pages 88 and 198.
