Lubricate the external lock cylinders
twice a year. Apply a small amount of
high-quality lubricant directly into the
lock cylinder. If necessary, contact your
authorized dealer.
Wiper Blades
Contamination of either the windshield
or the blades with foreign matter can
reduce wiper effectiveness. Common
sources are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a
good cleaner or mild detergent; then
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat if necessary.
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is placed in the
ON mode, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside the
vehicle.
Note:
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gas, paraffin, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
fingers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing or
servicing the vehicle, make sure the
wiper lever is in the OFF position.
Replacing Windshield Wiper Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well,
the blades are probably worn or
cracked. Replace them.
When raising both windshield wiper
arms, raise the driver's side wiper arm
first.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the
passenger's side first while supporting
it with your hand. Forcefully lowering
the wiper arms could damage the wiper
arm and blade, and may scratch or
crack the windshield.
Note: To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do not try
to sweep the wiper arm by hand.
Blade Replacement
Proceed as follows:
1. Raise the wiper arm.
2. Open the clip and slide the blade
assembly in the direction of the arrow.
