Wiper Blades and Washer Jets
Checking the Wiper BladesCAUTION: Only use cleaning products
that have been approved for use
on automotive glass and rubber.
Inappropriate products may cause
damage, smearing, or increased glare
on the screen.
You should periodically check and clean the
wiping edge of the wiper blade. Clean the blade edge using a soft cloth or sponge,
and isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or windshield
washer fluid. Also, check the blade rubber for
cracks, splits, or roughness. If any damage
is found, replace the blade immediately to
prevent damage to the glass.
Replacing Wiper Blades
Note: For optimum performance, replace the
wiper blades at least every year.
Life expectancy of wiper blades can
vary, depending on geographical area
and frequency of use. Poor wiper blade
performance can result in “chattering” (that is, skipping across the glass), or leaving behind
marks, streaks of water, or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace them as needed.
Replacing the front wiper blades
CAUTION: Only install wiper blades
that are the same length and identical to the original specification. Failure to
do so may cause poor performance and damage to the wiper system.1. Open the hood. See Hood Opening and
Closing .
2. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
3. Depress the locking tab while sliding the wiper blade away from the arm and
remove.
4. Installation of the new wiper blade is the reverse of removal. You should be able
to hear and feel it click into place on the
wiper arm.
5. Gently lower wiper blade back on to the windshield.
Cleaning Washer Jets
WARNING: Do not operate the washer
jets during cleaning. Windshield
washer fluid may cause irritation
to the eyes and skin. Always
read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturer
