Grease, silicon and petroleum products will weaken the wiping effect of wiper blades. Wash wiper blades with warm soap water and regularly check their state.

Wash and clean the windshield frequently, and avoid using wiper blades to wipe the sands on the windshield, or the wiping effect and service life of wiper blades will be affected.

Replace the wiper blades if the rubber is found hardened or cracked, or if the wipers leave scratches on the windshield or cannot wipe a certain area.

Clean the windshield regularly with approved windshield washer fluid, and ensure that the windshield is thoroughly cleaned before replacing wiper blades.

Use wiper blades of the same specification as the original wiper blades.

If the wiper or windshield is covered by ice or snow or is frozen, clear the ice and snow on the wiper and windshield before using the wiper, to avoid damaging the wiper.
