Maintenance and Care
use the "Service" position for any
intervention on the windshield wiper
blades.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area's
weather conditions where the car
is used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks on the glass,
water lines or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the
wiper blades or replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield/rear
window glasses periodically with
a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry
glass for long periods may cause
deterioration of the wiper blades.
Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from
a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades
to remove frost or ice from the
8
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out
of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.

the blade support from the arm and
replace it.
