WIPER BLADES

Contamination of either the wind-

shield or the wiper blades with for-

eign matter can reduce the effective-

ness of the windshield wipers.

Common sources of contamination

are insects, tree sap, and hot wax

treatments used by some commer-

cial car washes. If the blades are not

wiping properly, clean both the win-

dow and the blades with a good

cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse

thoroughly with clean water.

To prevent damage to the wiper

blades, arms or other compo-

nents, do not:

• Use gasoline, kerosene, paint

thinner, or other solvents on or

• Attempt to move the wipers

• Use non-specified wiper blades.

Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-

matic car washes have been known to

make the windshield difficult to clean.

When the wipers no longer clean

adequately, the blades may be worn

or cracked, and require replacement.

• In order to prevent damage to

the hood and the wiper arms, the

wiper arms should only be lifted

when in the top wiping position.

• Always return the wiper arms to

the windshield before driving.

1. Raise the wiper arm.
