The FAW Sirius S80 uses wipers like any other vehicle, to clear excess water from the windscreen and improve visibility. Although wiper blades are made from a rubber compound, the constant battering from the sun and other elements will cause it to crack and perish over time. The average lifespan on a wiper blade is around two years and it is highly recommended that you replace them every 18-months just in case.
