CLEANING
If your windshield is not clear after using the
windshield-washer or if a wiper blade chat-
ters when running, wax or other material may
be on the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a
washer solution or a mild detergent. Your
windshield is clean if beads do not form when
rinsing with clear water.
Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth
soaked in a washer solution or a mild deter-
gent. Then rinse the blades with clear water.
If your windshield is still not clear after clean-
ing the blades and using the wiper, replace
the blades.

Worn windshield wiper blades can damage
the windshield and impair driver vision.
