Windshield Replacement
The windshield is part of the Head-Up Display (HUD)
system. If you ever have to get the windshield replaced,
get one that is designed for HUD or the HUD image
may look out of focus.
Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement
Windshield wiper blades should be inspected for wear
and cracking. SeeScheduled Maintenance on page 6-4
for more information.
Replacement blades come in different types and are
removed in different ways. For the proper type and
length, seeMaintenance Replacement Parts on
page 6-14.
It is a good idea to clean or replace the wiper blade
assembly every six months. Allowing the wiper blade arm
to touch the windshield when no wiper blade is installed
could damage the windshield. Any damage that occurs
would not be covered by the vehicle’s warranty. Do not
allow the wiper blade arm to touch the windshield.
To remove the wiper blade assembly:
1. Open the hood to gain access to the windshield
wipers.
2. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.A. Blade Assembly

4. Remove the insert from the blade assembly (A).
The insert has two notches at one end that are
locked by the bottom claws of the blade assembly.
At the notch end, pull the insert from the blade
assembly.
