wipers and remove the key from the ignition
lock before changing the wiper blades

the on-board electronics are in state 0).
Otherwise, the wiper motor could be switched

Never fold a windshield wiper arm without
a wiper blade back onto the windshield.
Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when

windshield can be damaged by the force of
the impact.
