Maintenance 7-17
Windscreen wipers
Note:
1. The wiper blades will be renewed at
every service interval.
2. Use Jaguar Screen Clean Paste to
remove contamination from the
windscreen to ensure effective wiping
or if smearing or juddering becomes
evident. A more aggressive cleaning
agent may be required to remove
stubborn contamination. Contact a
Jaguar Dealer for advice.
To ensure that the windscreen remains
smear free, the washer system should be
operated whenever the wiper is used,
even when it is raining.
Windscreen wiper blades –
inspect and clean
Lift the wiper blades clear of the
windscreen and wipe the blades with a
clean, soft cloth moistened with water to
which a mild liquid detergent has been
added.
Inspect the wiper blades, and if there any
signs of wear or damage; renew the
blades.
Renew the wiper blades before and after
each winter, or more often if required.
Wiper blade renewal
Move the wiper arm away from the
windscreen, squeeze the retaining clip
and withdraw the wiper blade from the
arm. After fitting the new blade, check
that it is held firmly in position.
Reposition the wiper arm and blade onto
the screen.
Windscreen washers
Two windscreen washer nozzles are
mounted on the bonnet. Each nozzle
directs two spray patterns to the
windscreen.
Note: The windscreen wiper jets and
headlamp washer jets are not adjustable.
