Replacement of Wiper Blades

– CONTINUED –
If you fill the windshield washer tank with
a fluid with a different concentration from
the one used previously, purge the old
fluid from the piping between the wind-
shield washer tank and washer nozzles by
operating the washer for a certain period
of time. Otherwise, if the concentration of
the fluid remaining in the piping is too low
for the outside temperature, it may freeze
and block the nozzles.
11-24. Replacement of Wiper BladesGrease, wax, insects, or other materials
on the windshield or the wiper blade
results in jerky wiper operation and
streaking on the glass. If you cannot
remove the streaks after operating the
windshield washer or if the wiper opera-
tion is jerky, clean the outer surface of the
windshield (or rear window) and the wiper
blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a
neutral detergent or mild abrasive cleaner.
After cleaning, rinse the windshield and
wiper blades with clean water. The wind-
shield is clean if beads do not form when
you rinse the windshield with water.
CAUTION
Never use engine coolant as washer
fluid because it could cause paint
damage.
CAUTION
Adjust the washer fluid concen-
tration appropriately for the
outside temperature. If the
concentration is inappropriate,
sprayed washer fluid may freeze
on the windshield and obstruct
your view, and the fluid may
freeze in the windshield washer
tank.Be careful foreign matter does
not contaminate the washer fluid
when filling the tank. Contamina-
tion could cause malfunctions,
such as clogging the pump.
State or local regulations on vola-
tile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol, a
common windshield washer anti-
freeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol anti-
freeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging
your vehicle’s paint, wiper blades
or washer system.
CAUTION
Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.When you wish to raise the
passenger-side wiper arm, first
raise the driver-side wiper arm.
Otherwise, the passenger-side
wiper assembly and driver-side
wiper assembly will touch each
other, possibly resulting in
scratches.

possibly resulting in scratches. When returning the raised wipers
to the original positions, return
the wipers slowly on the wind-
shield by hand. Returning the
wipers from the detached posi-
tions by the spring operation
might change the shape of the
wiper arm or scratch the wind-
shield. While removing the wiper blades
from the wiper arms, do not
return the wiper ar ms to the orig-
inal positions. Otherwise, the
windshield surface may be
scratched.

WARNING
Before beginning work on or near
any battery, be sure to extinguish
all cigarettes, matches, and
lighters. Never expose a battery
to an open flame or electric
sparks. Batteries give off a gas
which is highly flammable and
explosive.For safety, in case an explosion
does occur, wear eye protection
or shield your eyes when working
near any battery. Never lean over
a battery.Do not let battery fluid contact
eyes, skin, fabrics, or paint
because battery fluid is a corro-
sive acid. If battery fluid gets on
your skin or in your eyes, immedi-
ately flush the area with water
thoroughly. Seek medical help
immediately if acid has entered
the eyes.
If battery fluid is accidentally
swallowed, immediately drink a
large amount of milk or water,
and seek medical attention
immediately.
