Replacing wiper blades
The wiper blades should be replaced regularly for best effect.
The windshield wiper blades must be in the vertical (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
With the wipers in the service position, fold out the wiper arm from the windshield. Press the button on the wiper blade attachment and pull the wiper blade straight out, parallel with the wiper arm.
Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks into place.
Check that the blade is securely in place.
- Press the wipers back against the windshield.
The windshield wiper blades are different lengths. The blade on the driver’s side is longer than the one on the passenger side.Note
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 lukewarm soap solution or car washing detergent.
