WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
✽
NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield or
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield wipers. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
Front windshield wiper blade
For your convenience, move the wind-
shield wiper blades to the service posi-
tion as follows;
Turn the engine start/stop button off.
Move the wiper switch to the single wip-
ing (MIST/ ) position within 20 seconds
and hold the switch until the wiper blade
is in the fully up position.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
