Wiper Arm Positions
The windshield wiper arms have two
parked positions: winter and summer.
In the winter position, the arms sit
slightly above the edge of the hood.
This reduces the possibility of
damage to the wiper arms or
windshield wiper motor by a build-up
of snow and ice.
WIPER ARMS
HOLDING LOCATIONS
Winter position
Adjust the wiper arms to the winter
position by holding both arms as
shown in the illustration at the same
time. Pull on the arm, parallel to the
windshield, until it locks in the
higher position.
A heavy build-up of snow or ice on
the wiper arms will cause them to
automatically park in the winter
position.
