CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES

It is recommended that wiper blades are renewed before winter.

To replace the wiper blades:

1. Fold back the wiper arm and
position the wiper blade at right
angles to the wiper arm.

2. To remove, press the retaining
clip (A) to disengage the wiper
blade, then pull the blade down
toward the windshield to remove it
from the arm.

3. Install the new wiper blade on the
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
windshield, refer to Windows and wiper blades in the Cleaning
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 rear window wiper blade

The rear wiper arm is designed without a service position. This reduces
the risk of damage to the blade in an automatic car wash.

To replace the wiper blade:

1. Lift and hold the wiper blade off
the glass.

2. Press the release tab to unlock
wiper blade from wiper arm.

3. Pull the wiper blade toward the
base of the wiper arm and remove it
from the arm.

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