4. Attach the new blade to the arm and snap it into place. Lower the
wiper arm and blade back to the windshield. The wiper arms will
automatically return to their normal position when the ignition is turned
on.

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. Refer to the Vehicle Care chapter.
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.

Changing the Rear Window Wiper Blade (If Equipped)

To replace the rear wiper blade:

1. Press the wiper blade against the
glass with one hand and hold it.

2. Pull the wiper arm away from the
wiper blade to separate.

3. To attach the new wiper to the
wiper arm, align the slot (1) and
cross pin (2) and firmly press the
wiper arm into the wiper blade until
a click is heard.

If you find this procedure too difficult, please see your dealer.
