The windscreen will not longer be properly wiped if the wiper blades are worn. This could prevent you from observing the traffic conditions, thereby causing an accident. Replace the wiper blades twice a year, ideally in spring and autumn.
Risk of accident
The wiper arms could start moving and cause an injury if you leave the windscreen wipers switched on.
Remove the key from the ignition lock before replacing the wiper blades.
Make sure that you touch only the wiper arm of the windscreen wiper to avoid damaging the windscreen wiper blades.
