WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
6. Return the wiper to its original position
and release it until it has made contact
with the windshield.
CLEANING
If your windshield is not clear after using
the windshield–washer or if a wiper blade
chatters when running, wax or other mate-
rial may be on the blade or windshield.
CAUTION
∙ After wiper blade replacement, return
the wiper arm to its original position;
otherwise it may be damaged when
the hood is opened.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a
washer fluid or a mild detergent.Your wind-
shield is clean if beads do not form when
rinsing with clear water.
∙ Make sure the wiper blades contact
the glass; otherwise the arms may be
damaged from wind pressure.
Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth
soaked in a washer fluid or a mild deter-
gent. Then rinse the blades with clear wa-
ter. If your windshield is still not clear after
cleaning the blades and using the wiper,
install new windshield wiper blades.
