different types and are removed in
different ways. To replace the wiper
blade assembly:

1. Pull the windshield wiper arm

away from the windshield.

2. Press the button in the middle of

the wiper arm connector and pull
the wiper blade away from the
arm connector.

3. Install the new wiper blade and

make sure the wiper blade locks
into place.

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

Backglass Wiper Blade

To replace the backglass wiper
blade:

1. Pull the wiper blade assembly

away from the backglass.

The backglass wiper blade will
not lock in a vertical position
so care should be used when
pulling it away from the vehicle.

2. Rotate the wiper blade

assembly, hold the wiper arm in
position, and push the blade
away from the wiper arm.

3. Replace the wiper blade.

4. Return the wiper arm and blade

assembly to the rest position on
the glass.

Windshield Replacement

If the vehicle is equipped with the
Head‐Up display (HUD) system
and the windshield needs to be
replaced, get one that is designed
for HUD or the HUD image may
look out of focus.
