The windshield wiper blades are different lengths
NOTE
The windshield wiper blades are different
lengths. The blade on the driver’s side is
longer than the one on the passenger side.
Cleaning
Keeping the windshield/tailgate window 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
detergent.
Replacing the tailgate wiper blade
1. Fold the wiper arm outward.
2. Grasp the inner section of wiper blade (at the
arrow).
3. Turn the wiper blade counterclockwise to use
one end as a lever to help release it from the
wiper arm.
4. Press the new wiper blade until it clicks into
place and check that it seats securely.
5. Fold the wiper arm back toward the tailgate
window.

washer fluid (see the illustration for the location
of the reservoir).
During cold weather, the reservoir should be filled
with windshield washer solvent containing anti-

equivalent with a recommended pH value
between 6 and 8 in a 1:1 solution.
When there is approx. 1 qt (1 liter) of washer
fluid remaining in the reservoir, a text message
