Lights and wipers play a major role in safe driving – the chances for accidents increase if you can’t see or be seen.

If you detect any problems with your car’s lights or wipers, have them checked out at once.

The wiper system keeps excessive water, snow or dirt from building up on the windshield and removes them to maintain clear visibility through the windshield.

The lighting system provides nighttime visibility, signals and alerts other drivers and supplies light for viewing instruments and the vehicle’s interior.

Lights and wipers are normal wear items that require periodic replacement. Factors affecting the need for replacement:

• Operating conditions;
• Frequency of use;
• Material and type of lights and wipers; and/or
• Weather conditions – wiper blades deteriorate more quickly when exposed to the sun for prolonged periods and can crack in the cold.

• Chattering or streaking wiper;
• Rapid signal blinking; or
• Dimming lights.

We recommend you replace your wiper blades every 12 months.
