MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
While holding the button down, pull the

arm.
Putting the wiper blades in service
position
The windshield wiper blades must be in the
service (vertical) position for certain opera-
tions, e.g. replacing the blades.
NOTE
When changing wiper blades, make sure
that the blades are of different lengths. The
blade on the driver's side is longer than the
one on the passenger side.
4. Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks
into place.
5. Fold the blade back toward the arm until it
clicks into place. The blade is no longer in
its removal position and can once again be
moved.
