Replacing wiper blades
The wiper blades should be replaced regularly
for best effect.
The windshield wiper blades must be in the verti-
cal (service) position for replacement, washing
or to lift them away from the windshield when
e.g., removing ice or snow.
Replacing the windshield wiper blades
1. With the wipers in the service position, fold
out the wiper arm from the windshield.
2.
Fold out the wiper blade from the wiper
arm until it clicks. The wiper blade is now in
the removal position.
3.
Press the button on the wiper blade
attachment and
pull the wiper blade
straight out, parallel with the wiper arm while
keeping the wiper blade folded out.
4. Slide in the new wiper blade into position,
hold it in the removal position and ensure
that its attachments are correctly positioned.
5. Fold the wiper blade toward the wiper arm
until it clicks into position.
6. Press the wipers back against the wind-
shield.
The windshield wiper blades are different lengths
NOTE
The windshield wiper blades are different
lengths. The blade on the driver’s side is
longer than the one on the passenger side.
Cleaning
Keeping the windshield/rear window and wiper
blades clean helps improve visibility and prolongs
the service life of the wiper blades. Clean the
wiper blades with a stiff-bristle brush and luke-
warm soap solution or car washing detergent.
Replacing the tailgate wiper blade
1. Fold the wiper arm outward.
2. Grasp the inner section of wiper blade (at the
arrow).
3. Use one end of the wiper blade as a lever to
help release it from the wiper arm.
4. Press the new wiper blade until it clicks into
place and check that it seats securely.
5. Fold the wiper arm back toward the tailgate
window.
