Risk of injury.

warning
  • In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (to avoid the risk of the motor overheating).
  • Keep an eye on the condition of the blades. Replace the wiper blades as soon as they begin to lose efficiency (approximately once a year).

When changing the blade, when it has been removed, do not let the wiper arm fall against the window: risk of breaking the window.
