CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid
or water applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
Note: Use the service position in winter to
provide easier access to the front wiper
blades for freeing them from snow and ice.
The front wipers will not return to their
normal position as soon as you switch on
the ignition. The front wipers will stay in the
service position when you switch the ignition
on or start the engine. Switch on the front
wipers to any mode, then switch off the
front wipers to bring the front wipers back
to the park position.

Maintenance
Note: The windshield wiper blades are
different in length. If you install wiper blades
of the wrong length, the wipers may not
work correctly. If equipped with autowipers,
the rain sensor may not work correctly.
Note: Make sure that the wiper blade locks
into place. Lower the wiper arm and blade
back to the windshield. The wiper arms will
automatically return to their normal position
when the ignition is turned on.
Note: Replace wiper blades at least once
per year for optimum performance.
Note: Poor wiper quality can be improved
by cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield

2. Switch on the ignition.
3. Switch off the ignition and within three
seconds, pull the wiper lever to toward
you. Hold the lever in until wipers have
