Dust and Pollen Filter, Wiper Blades

Dust and Pollen Filter

This filter removes the dust and
pollen that is brought in from the
outside through the heating and
cooling system/climate control
system.
Have your dealer replace this filter
when this service is indicated by a
maintenance message on the
information display. It should be
replaced every 15,000 miles (24,000
km) if you drive primarily in urban
areas that have high concentrations
of soot in the air, or if the airflow
from the heating and cooling
system/climate control system
becomes less than usual.

Wiper Blades

Check the condition of the wiper
blades at least every six months.
Replace them if you find signs of
cracking in the rubber, areas that are
getting hard, or if they leave streaks
and unwiped areas when used.
To replace a wiper blade:
1. To raise the wiper arm, turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position and activate the wipers
(see page 75 ). When the wipers
are in the upright position, turn
the ignition switch off to stop the
wipers in that position.
WIPER ARMS
2. Raise the wiper arm off the
windshield.
Do not open the hood when the wiper
arms are raised, or you will damage the
hood and the wiper arms.
