WIPER BLADES

Blade inspection

Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commercial
car washes. If the blades are not wiping
properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
arms or other components, 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.
Information
i
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
Information
i
Wiper blades are consumable items.
Normal wear of the wipers may not be
covered by your vehicle warranty.

Blade replacement

When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
CAUTION
• In order to prevent damage to the
hood and the wiper arms, the wiper
arms should only be lifted when in
the top wiping position.
• Always return the wiper arms to the
windshield before driving.
