CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES

Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of the blade
to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or water
applied with a soft sponge or cloth.

CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES

Note: Use the service position in winter to provide easier access to the
front wiper blades for freeing them from snow and ice. The front wipers
will not return to their normal position as soon as you switch on the
ignition. The front wipers will stay in the service position when you
switch the ignition on or start the engine. Switch on the front wipers to
any mode, then switch off the front wipers to bring the front wipers back
to the park position.
