Wiper blades – windshield
The wiper blades should be replaced regularly
for best effect.
The windshield wiper blades must be in the verti-
cal (service) position for replacement, washing
or to lift them away from the windshield when
e.g., removing ice or snow.
Replacing the windshield wiper blades
NOTE
The windshield wiper blades are different
lengths. The blade on the driver’s side is
longer than the one on the passenger side.
With the wipers in the service position, fold
out the wiper arm from the windshield. Press
the button on the wiper blade attachment
and pull the wiper blade straight out, parallel
with the wiper arm.
Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks
into place.
Check that the blade is securely in place.
4. Press the wipers back against the wind-
shield.
To return the wipers from the service position to
the normal position, fold the wipers back against
the windshield and press the START/STOP
ENGINE button briefly to put the ignition in mode
I (or start the engine).
Cleaning
Keeping the windshield and wiper blades clean
helps improve visibility and prolongs the service
life of the wiper blades. Clean the wiper blades
with a stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soap solu-
tion or car washing detergent.
