The climate control air filter should be
replaced every 15,000 km (10,000
miles). If the vehicle is operated in the
severely air-polluted cities or on dusty
rough roads for a long period, it should
be inspected more frequently and
replaced earlier. When you try to replace
the climate control air filter by owner
maintenance, replace it performing the
following procedure, and in this case, be
careful to avoid damaging other compo-
nents.

Maintenance

Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.

Contamination of either the windshield or
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield wipers. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water.

Replacement

When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the wiper

attempt to move the wipers manual-
ly.

CAUTION

The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper malfunc-
tion and failure.
