Wiper Blade Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be
inspected for wear or cracking. See
Scheduled Maintenance on
page 11‑3
.

Replacement blades come in
different types and are removed in
different ways.

To replace the wiper blade
assembly:

1. Pull the windshield wiper arm

connector away from the
windshield.

2. Squeeze the grooved areas on

each side of the blade, and
rotate the blade assembly away
from the arm connector.

3. Install the new blade onto the

arm connector and make sure
the grooved areas are fully set in
the locked position.

For the proper type and size, see
Maintenance Replacement Parts on
page 11‑9
.

Glass Replacement

If the windshield or front side glass
must be replaced, see your dealer
to determine the correct
replacement glass.

Headlamp Aiming

The vehicle has a visual optical
headlamp aiming system. The aim
of the headlamps has been preset
at the factory and should need no
further adjustment.

However, if the vehicle is damaged
in a crash, the aim of the headlamps
may be affected and adjustment
may be necessary.

If oncoming vehicles flash their high
beams at you, this may mean the
vertical aim of the headlamps needs
to be adjusted.

It is recommended that the vehicle
be taken to your dealer for service if
the headlamps need to be adjusted.
It is possible, however, to re-aim the
headlamps as described.
