225. Essuie-glace
Un essuie-glace est un dispositif qui enlève la pluie, la neige, la saleté et l’humidité du pare-brise afin de maintenir une vue claire de la route. La plupart des véhicules utilisent des essuie-glaces électriques avec des balais en caoutchouc remplaçables et plusieurs vitesses, souvent associés à un lave-glace. Les balais usés ou endommagés doivent être remplacés lorsqu’ils laissent des traces, sautillent sur la vitre ou ne nettoient plus efficacement le pare-brise.
