CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
1. Pull the wiper blade and arm
away from the glass. Turn the
blade at a right angle to the
arm.
2. Squeeze the locking tabs to
release the blade from the arm
and pull the blade away from
the arm to remove it.
3. Attach the new blade to the arm and snap it into place.
Replace wiper blades at least once per year for optimum performance.
Poor wiper quality can be improved by cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield, refer to
Windows and wiper blades
in the
Cleaning
chapter.
To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper rubber element.
Changing rear window wiper blade
The rear wiper arm is designed without a service position. This reduces
the risk of damage to the blade in an automatic car wash.
