Wiper Blade Replacement

Windscreen wiper blades should be
inspected for wear or cracking. See
Scheduled Maintenance on
page 11 1.
It is a good idea to clean or replace
the wiper blade assembly on a
regular basis or when worn. For
proper windscreen wiper blade
length and type, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 11 7.
To replace the wiper blade
assembly:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with
the engine off.
2. Turn on the windscreen wipers
and turn them off again when
the wipers are in the out-wipe
position. The driver side blade
will be straight up and down on
the windscreen.
3. Pull the windscreen wiper
assembly away from the
windscreen.
4. Lift up the wiper blade
assembly cap.
5. Pull the wiper blade assembly
down far enough to release it
from the J-hooked end of the
wiper arm. Slide the assembly
away from the arm.
Allowing the wiper blade arm to
touch the windscreen when no
wiper blade is installed could
damage the windscreen. Any
damage that occurs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not allow the wiper blade arm to
touch the windscreen.
6. Replace the blade with a
new one.
