Blade inspection

Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a clean
cloth dampened with washer fluid.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
• Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
• Attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• Use non-specified wiper blades.
i
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield dif-
ficult to clean.

Blade replacement

When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-
ally.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
