Wiper Blades
CAUTION
l
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
l
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, don't use petrol, paraffin,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
Contamination of either the windscreen or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
q
Replacing Windscreen Wiper Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the wiper arm
blades when raising both the driver and
passenger side wiper arms, raise the
driver side wiper arm first. Conversely,
when setting down the wiper arms, set
the passenger side wiper arm down
first.
1. Pull up the wiper arm and tilt the blade.
2. Slide the blade downward while
holding the clip.
3. Remove the blade.
