Wiper blades on the
windshield
Lift wiper arm. Press release lever
and detach wiper blade.
Vehicle Care
Properly functioning windshield
wipers are essential for clear vision
and safe driving. Regularly check
the condition of the wiper blades.
Replace hard, brittle, or cracked
blades or those that smear dirt on
the windshield.
Foreign material on the windshield
or wiper blades can reduce the
effectiveness of the wipers. If the
blades are not wiping properly,
clean both the windshield and the
blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent. Rinse them thoroughly
with water.
Repeat the process, if necessary.
There is no way to remove traces of
silicone from glass. Therefore, never
apply polish with silicone to your
vehicle s windshield or you will get
streaks which will impair the driver s
vision.
Do not use solvents, gasoline,
kerosene, or paint thinner to clean
wipers. These are harsh and can
damage the blades and painted
surfaces.
