High-pressure washing
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier toclean because dirt does not attach as strongly. Italso reduces the risk of scratches and keeps thevehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a carwash or garage with an oil separator. Use a carwashing detergent.
High-pressure washingIf washing the vehicle with a high-pressure wash, use sweeping movements and keep the nozzle atleast 30 cm (13 in.) from the vehicle. Do notspray directly onto locks.

Changing rear window wipers
The wiper blades help remove water from the windshield and rear window. Along with thewasher fluid, they clean the glass and helpimprove visibility while driving. The windshieldand rear window wiper blades can be replaced.
Changing rear window wipers
Lift the wiper arm from the window and pull the lower section of the blade to the right.
1. Grasp the center of the wiper blade and
lift it from the window to the stop position.
NOTE
When the wiper arm is halfway folded out, it will stop in a locking position that helps pre-vent the arm from falling back onto the rearwindow. The wiper arm must be pulled pastthe locking position stop in order to changethe wiper blade.
2. Grip the lower part of the blade and pull
to the right until the blade loosens from the arm.
3. Press the new wiper blade until it clicks into place. Check to make sure the blade issecurely in place.
4. Fold the wiper arm back toward the window.
CAUTION
Check the blades regularly. Neglected main- tenance shortens the life of the blades.
