Wiper Blades
CAUTION

Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.

To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use petrol, paraffin, paint thinner,
or other solvents on or near them.

When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:

If the windscreen above the rain sensor
is touched.

If the windscreen above the rain sensor
is wiped with a cloth.

If the windscreen is struck with a hand
or other object.

If the rain sensor is struck with a hand
or other object from inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers
as it may cause injury, or damage the
wipers. When washing or servicing the
vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in
the OFF position.
Contamination of either the windscreen or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly, clean
the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.

Replacing Windscreen Wiper Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION

To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.

Do not bend the blade rubber
unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiffener in the
blade may deform and the windscreen
wiper operation may be adversely
affected.
NOTE
When raising both windscreen wiper arms,
raise the driver's side wiper arm first.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the passenger's
side first while supporting it with your
hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and blade,
and may scratch or crack the windscreen.
1. Raise the wiper arm.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the windscreen
let the wiper arm down easily, do not
let it slap down on the windscreen.
