116 – PROPER MAINTENANCE OF YOUR VEHICLE
Windshield Wiper Blades
Wiper Blades
Operating the wipers on dry glass for
long periods may deteriorate the
wiper blades. Always include washer
fluid when using the wipers to remove
salt or dirt from a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to re-
move frost or ice from the windshield.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades,
make sure that the wipers are not fro-
zen to the glass before turning them
on.
NOTE: Always keep the rubber blade
free from contact with petroleum prod-
ucts such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Wiper Blade Replacement
Replacing Wiper Blades
Lift the wiper arm and rotate the wiper
blade at a right angle with the wiper
arm. Press the release tab (arrow) in
the direction as shown in the figure to
loosen the wiper blade from the wiper
arm. With the release tab pressed,
slide the wiper blade away from the
wiper arm. Install the new wiper blade
in the reverse order, and confirm the
release tab is locked securely.
Washing
Wash your vehicle regularly. Always
wash your vehicle in the shade with
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
mild car washing soap. Rinse the pan-
els completely with clean water. Avoid
using abrasive compounds and power
buffing as these may diminish the
gloss or thin out the paint finish.
CAUTION!
Observe the following guidelines when
washing your vehicle:
• Do not use abrasive or strong clean-
ing materials such as steel wool or
scouring powder, which will scratch
metal and painted surfaces.
• After washing, drive the vehicle and
depress the brake pedal gently sev-
eral times to dry the brake rotors.
Special Care
• If you drive on dirt roads, wash off the
undercarriage at least once a month.
• If you detect any stone chips or
scratches in the paint, touch them up
immediately.
