CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES

Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of the blade
to check for roughness.

Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or water
applied with a soft sponge or cloth.

CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES

1. Pull the wiper arm away from the
vehicle. Turn the blade at an angle
from the wiper arm. Press the lock
tab to release the blade and pull the
wiper blade down toward the
windshield to remove it from the arm.

2. Attach the new wiper to the wiper
arm and press it into place until a
click is heard.

Replace wiper blades at least once per year for optimum performance.

Poor wiper quality can be improved by cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield.

To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper rubber element.
