WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi‐
cult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wipers. Common sources of
contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades
are not wiping properly, clean both the window and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperblades, do not use gasoline, kero‐sene, paint thinner, or other solventson or near them.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean ade‐
quately, the blades may be worn or cracked, and require replacement.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperarms or other components, do not

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery. • If the battery becomes discharged in a short time (because, for example,the headlights or interior lights were
left on while the vehicle was not in
use), recharge it by slow charging
(trickle) for 10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge it
at 20-30A for two hours.
