Replacing windshield wiper blades
The wiper blades help remove water from the
windshield and rear window. Along with the
washer fluid, they are designed to clean the
glass and help improve visibility while driving.
The windshield and rear window wiper
blades can be replaced.
Raise the wiper arms to the service posi-
tion. Service position is activated/deacti-
vated via the function view in the center
display when the car is stationary and the
windshield wipers are not on. Press the
button on the wiper blade attachment and
pull the wiper blade straight out, parallel
with the wiper arm.
Slide in a new wiper blade until it clicks
into place.
3. Check to make sure the blade is securely
in place.
4. Press the wiper blade back against the
windshield.
Wiper blades come in varying lengths
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
NOTE
When changing wiper blades, make sure
that the blades are of different lengths. The
blade on the driver's side is longer than the
one on the passenger side.
