MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
||
Lift the sleeve on the wiper blade attach-
ment. Make sure that the wiper arm
doesn't accidentally retract toward the
window.
6. Press the new wiper blade until it clicks
into place. Check to make sure the blade
is securely in place.
Replacing windshield wiper blades
The wiper blades help remove water from the
windshield and rear window. Along with the
washer fluid, they are designed to clean the
glass and help improve visibility while driving.
The windshield and rear window wiper
blades can be replaced.
7. Fold the wiper arm back toward the win-
dow.
CAUTION
Check the blades regularly. Neglected
maintenance shortens the life of the
blades.
