Replacement of wiper blades Grease, wax, insects, or other materials
on the windshield or the wiper blade re-
sults in jerky wiper operation and streak-
ing on the glass. If you cannot remove the
streaks after operating the windshield
washer or if the wiper operation is jerky,
clean the outer surface of the windshield
(or rear window) and the wiper blades us-
ing a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral
detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. After
cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper
blades with clean water. The windshield is
clean if beads do not form when you rinse
the windshield with water.
If you cannot eliminate the streaking even
after following this method, replace the
wiper blades using the following proce-
dures: „ Windshield wiper blade as- sembly

driver’s side.
2. Next, raise the windshield wiper arm on

pressing the wiper blade stopper.
4. Install the wiper blade assembly to the

blades.
y When you wish to raise the pas-
senger-side wiper arm, first raise
the driver-side wiper arm. Other-
wise, the passenger-side wiper
assembly and driver-side wiper
assembly will touch each other,
possibly resulting in scratches.

arm to its original position before
returning the driver-side wiper
arm to its original position. Other-
wise, the passenger-side wiper
assembly and driver-side wiper
assembly will touch each other,
possibly resulting in scratches.

does occur, wear eye protection
or shield your eyes when working
near any battery. Never lean over a battery.
yDo not let battery fluid contact
eyes, skin, fabrics, or paint be-
cause battery fluid is a corrosive
acid. If battery fluid gets on your
skin or in your eyes, immediately
flush the area wi th water thor-
oughly. Seek medical help imme-
diately if acid has entered the
eyes. If battery fluid is accidentally
swallowed, immediately drink a
large amount of milk or water, and
seek medical attention immediate-ly.
