MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
||
Changing rear window wipers
Lift the wiper arm from the window and pull the
lower section of the blade to the right.
Grasp the center of the wiper blade and
lift it from the window to the stop posi-
tion.
NOTE
When the wiper arm is halfway folded out,
it will stop in a locking position that helps
prevent the arm from falling back onto the
rear window. The wiper arm must be
pulled past the locking position stop in
order to change the wiper blade.
Grip the lower part of the blade and pull to
the right until the blade loosens from the
arm.

3. Press the new wiper blade until it clicks
into place. Check to make sure the blade
is securely in place.
4. Fold the wiper arm back toward the win-
dow.
CAUTION
Check the blades regularly. Neglected
maintenance shortens the life of the
blades.

Replacing windshield wiper blades
The wiper blades help remove water from the
windshield and rear window. Along with the
washer fluid, they are designed to clean the
glass and help improve visibility while driving.
The windshield and rear window wiper
blades can be replaced.
