Wiper blades – windshield
The wiper blades should be replaced regularly
for best effect.
The windshield wiper blades must be in the
vertical (service) position for replacement,
washing or to lift them away from the wind-
shield when e.g., removing ice or snow.
Replacing the windshield wiper blades
NOTE
The windshield wiper blades are different
lengths. The blade on the driver’s side is
longer than the one on the passenger side.
With the wipers in the service position,
fold out the wiper arm from the wind-
shield. Press the button on the wiper
blade attachment and pull the wiper
blade straight out, parallel with the wiper
arm.
Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks
into place.
Check that the blade is securely in place.
4. Press the wipers back against the wind-
shield.
To return the wipers from the service position
to the normal position, fold the wipers back
against the windshield and press the
START/
STOP ENGINE button briefly to put the igni-
tion in mode I (or start the engine).
Cleaning
Keeping the windshield and wiper blades
clean helps improve visibility and prolongs
the service life of the wiper blades. Clean the
wiper blades with a stiff-bristle brush and
lukewarm soap solution or car washing deter-
gent.
