Changing Wiper Blades
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. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK).
2. While holding the wiper switch in the
MIST position, press the POWER
button three times. Both wiper arms
are now set to the maintenance
position.
3. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the passenger side.
4. Press up on and hold the tab, then slide
the holder off the wiper arm.
5. Pull the end of the wiper blade in the
direction of the arrow in the image
until it unfastens from the holder's end
cap. Pull the wiper blade to the
opposite direction to slide it out from
its holder.
