Dust and Pollen Filter, Wiper Blades
Dust and Pollen Filter
If equipped with A/C
This filter removes the dust and
pollen that is brought in from the
outside through the heating and
cooling system.
Have your dealer replace this filter
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km)
under normal conditions. It should
be replaced every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) if you drive primarily in
urban areas that have high
concentrations of soot in the air, or if
the flow from the heating and
cooling system becomes less than
usual.

Wiper Blades
Check the condition of the wiper
blades at least every six months.
Replace them if you find signs of
cracking in the rubber, areas that are
getting hard, or if they leave streaks
and unwiped areas when used.
Raise the wiper arm off the
1.
windshield.
Do not open the hood when the wiper
arms are raised, or you will damage the
hood and wiper arms.
LOCK TAB
Disconnect the blade assembly
2.
from the wiper arm by pushing in
the lock tab. Hold the lock tab in
while you push the blade assembly
toward the base of the arm.
