 WARNING
 WARNING
Wiper blades are components that are subject 
to wear and tear. Replace the wiper blades 
twice a year, preferably in the spring and fall.
Otherwise the windows will not be wiped 
properly. As a result, you may not be able to 
observe surrounding traffic conditions and 
could cause an accident.
 Do not operate the windshield wipers 
when the windshield is dry, as this could 
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust 
that has collected on the windshield can 
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when 
the windshield is dry.
