WIPER BLADES

Blade inspection

Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield 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 manu-
ally.
• Use non-specified wiper blades.
i
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
i
Information
Wiper blades are consumable items. Nor-
mal wear of the wipers may not be covered
by your vehicle warranty.

Blade replacement

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