Wiper Blades
CAUTION
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 petrol, paraf
fi
n,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched.
If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
fi
ngers 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.
Contamination of either the windscreen 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.
Replacing Windscreen Wiper
Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
NOTE
When raising both windscreen wiper
arms, raise the driver's side wiper arm
fi
rst. When lowering the wiper arms,
slowly lower the wiper arm from the
passenger's side
fi
rst while supporting it
with your hand. Forcefully lowering the
wiper arms could damage the wiper arm
and blade, and may scratch or crack the
windscreen.
1. Raise the wiper arm.
2. Open the clip and slide the blade
assembly in the direction of the arrow.
