Changing the wiper blades

1. Pull the wiper arm away from the
vehicle. Turn the blade at an angle
from the wiper arm. Push the lock
pin manually 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 sometimes
be improved by cleaning the wiper
blades, 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.

TILT STEERING COLUMN

Pull the lever down to unlock the
steering column. While the lever is
in the down position, tilt the
steering column to its desired
orientation.
