Replacing the wiper blades
WARNING: Ensure the ignition is
switched off before you replace the
wiper blades. The windscreen
wipers could be set in motion and
injure you.
WARNING: Replace the wiper blades
every 12 months or the windscreen
will not be wiped properly. You may
not be able to observe the road and
traffic conditions as a result and
could cause an accident.

switch on the ignition but DO NOT
touch the brake pedal.
2. Pull the wiper control stalk towards you
twice, the wipers will move to a winter
park position and then to the service

The service park position locates the
wiper arms in a convenient position for
wiper blade replacement.
