Replacing a wiper blade
The wiper blades sweep water away from the
windscreen and rear window. Together with the
washer fluid they clean the windows and ensure
visibility for driving. Windscreen and rear window
wiper blades can be replaced.
Replacing a windscreen wiper blade
1. Fold up the wiper arm when it is in service
position.
2.
Set the wiper blade in removal position by
angling it out from the arm until a click sound
can be heard.
3.
Press and hold the lock button located
on the wiper blade mounting and at the
same time pull the blade straight out
par-
allel with the wiper arm.
4. Slide in the new wiper blade until the lock
button engages.
5. Angle the blade in towards the arm until a
click sound is heard. The blade is then no
longer in the removal position and can be
moved again.
6. Check that the wiper blade is firmly installed.
7. Fold the wiper arm back towards the wind-
screen.
The wiper blades are different lengths.
NOTE
The wiper blades are different lengths. The
blade on the driver's side is longer than on
the passenger side.
Replacing the wiper blade, rear window
1. Fold out the wiper arm.
2. Grip the inner section of the blade (by the
arrow).
3. Turn anticlockwise to use the blade's end
position against the wiper arm as a lever to
detach the blade more easily.
4. Press the new wiper blade into place. You
should hear a click. Check that it is firmly
installed.
5. Lower the wiper arm.
IMPORTANT
Check the blades regularly. Neglected main-
tenance shortens the service life of the wiper
blades.
