Replacing wiper blades
The wiper blades should be replaced regularly
for best effect.
The windshield wiper blades must be in the verti-
cal (service) position for replacement, washing
or to lift them away from the windshield when
e.g., removing ice or snow.
Replacing the windshield wiper blades
With the wipers in the service position, fold
out the wiper arm from the windshield. 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.
