SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 7–15
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Properly functioning windshield wipers are
essential for safe driving and clear vision.
Check condition of wiper blades from time
to time. Hardened, brittle or smearing
blades must be replaced.
Since there is no way to successfully re-
move traces of silicone from any glass, be
certain not to apply any polish containing
silicone to the windshield of your vehicle
since this will result in streaks which im-
pair vision.
Contamination of either the window or the
wiper blades with foreign matter can reduce
the effectiveness of the windshield wipers.
If the blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the window and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse thor-
oughly with clear water.
Repeat if necessary.
To replace the wiper blade, press the re-
taining clip and pull the wiper blade off the
arm.
Simply push the new wiper blade onto the
arm.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Your vehicle is fitted with a maintenance
free (MF) battery without seal plugs.
It needs no periodic maintenance.
The hydrometer (test indicator) in the top
of the battery provides information for test-
ing purposes only.
