Question 5241
Windshield wipers must be kept in good condition to drive safely. To do this, you must...
- inspect the wiper blades to ensure they work as effectively as possible.
- apply the fluid recommended by the manufacturer to the windshield to help the wiper blades move.
- check that the reservoir holding the windshield washer fluid is always at the maximum level.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: inspect the wiper blades to ensure they work as effectively as possible.
Check the wiper blades often and replace them when the rubber is damaged or no longer wipes well, because effective wiping depends on them. The windshield washer reservoir must contain fluid, but it does not have to be full at all times. In the image, the driver lifts the wiper blade to inspect the rubber.
