Vehicle Care
Remove foreign matters such as bird
droppings, dust and leaves from the
windshield surface before starting the wiper;
otherwise, the service life of blades will be
reduced.
Notes on Front Wiper Blade Replacement
The front wiper is of semi-concealed design.
Before replacing the blade, operate the
wiper to the maintenance position and then
fold the wiper arm.
Otherwise, the right wiper arm will contact
the engine hood and damage the paint
when being folded.
Method: Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position and then to the LOCK position.
Raise the wiper lever toward the steering
wheel and release it (single-point contact)
within 30 seconds. The wiper arm will swing
to the maintenance position. After replacing
the blade, lower the wiper arm and turn the
ignition switch to the ON position, and then
the wiper will return to the original position.
Wiper Blade Removal and Installation
Fold the wiper arm on the windshield for
operation.
First press the release switch of the wiper
blade in the direction of arrow 1.
Then hold the joint part between the wiper
blade and the wiper arm with the other
hand. Pull the wiper blade down slightly in
the direction of arrow 2 to separate the
wiper blade from the wiper arm.
During installation, insert and clamp the
new wiper blade into the U-slot of the
wiper arm.
During the rear wiper blade removal, pull
out the wiper blade from the installation
point on the wiper arm. For installation,
align the blade with the installation point
and press it into the point.
