Wiper blades are components that are sub-
ject to wear and tear. Change the wiper
blades twice a year, preferably in the spring
and fall. Otherwise the windows will not be
properly wiped. As a result, you may not be
able to observe surrounding traffic condi-
tions and could cause an accident.
!
The hood must be opened (

before folding the wiper arms away from the
windshield. You could otherwise damage the
hood and/or the wiper arm.
!
Do not pull on the wiper blade inserts. They
could tear.
