Windshield Wiper

Cleaning

Any contamination of either the windshield or wiper blades will reduce the effectiveness of the wiper blade.

The main pollution sources are dust, silt, insects, branches and water wax used by car washers. If the wiper blade is poorly scraped, clean the windshield and wiper blade with high-quality detergent or mild detergent, and then rinse it completely with clear water.

The procedure for cleaning the wiper blade operation is as follows:

  • Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
  • Grasp the wiper arm.
  • Carefully wipe the dust and dirt on the wiper blade and windshield surface with a soft cloth.
  • After cleaning, gently put the wiper arm back in place.
CAUTION
  • In order to prevent the formation of horizontal stripes on the glass surface during wiping, the wiper blade should be cleaned regularly. Avoid using turpentine, kerosene, paint thinner, or similar solvents to clean them.
  • If the windshield is still dirty after wiping, clean the wiper blades with a sponge or cloth. If it's still not clean after cleaning, replace the wiper blades.
  • In cold weather, check if the wiper blades are frozen before using the windshield washer. Only use the washer when the wipers can move freely without interference.
  • In hot summer, icy weather or when the vehicle is not used for a long time, lift the wiper arms to slow down the ageing of the wiper blades.
Wiper Blades Replacement

Wiper blades must be checked periodically and damaged wiper blades replaced promptly, otherwise windshield scratches may occur.

CAUTION
  • Do not dry scratch without water to avoid damageing the wiper blades and scratching the windshield, which can affect driving safety.
  • Wiper blades should be replaced 1 to 2 times a year.
  • Do not power on the vehicle before completing the wiper blade replacement to prevent sudden wiper movement that can damage the windshield and bonnet.
  • If the wiper arm is folded up from the windshield, do not open the bonnet; do not fold the wiper arm back onto the windshield without installing the wiper blades to avoid damageing the windshield and wipers.
