If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first
with a paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has
deteriorated, you should change the wiper blades.

1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the

passenger side.

2. Press and hold the tab, then slide the blade out

from the wiper arm.

3. Pull the end of the wiper blade to the direction of

the arrow (shown in the image) until it unfastens
from the holder’s end cap.

4. Pull the wiper blade to the opposite direction to

slide it out from its holder.

5. Insert the flat side of the new wiper blade onto the

bottom part of the holder. Insert the blade all the
way.

6. Install the end of the wiper blade into the end cap.

7. Slide the wiper blade onto the wiper arm until it

locks.

8. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the

driver side.

Tire Information

To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.

Inflation Guidelines

• Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and

comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page

129) for the specified pressure.

• Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,

and are more likely to fail from overheating.

• Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road

hazards, and wear unevenly.

• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the

others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.

• Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been

parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add

or release air until the specified pressure is reached. If checked when hot, tire

pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi (30-40 kPa, 0.3-0.5 kgf/cm

) higher than

checked when cold.

• At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure

in all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1-2 psi

(10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm

) per month.

Inspection Guidelines

Every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:

• Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in the side

or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if

you see fabric or cord.

• Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
• Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.

Wear Indicators

The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator
is exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have
poor traction on wet roads.
