CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES

1. Pull the wiper arm away from the
vehicle. Turn the blade at an angle
from the wiper arm. Push the lock
pin manually to release the blade
and pull the wiper blade down
toward the windshield to remove it
from the arm.

2. Attach the new wiper to the
wiper arm and press it into place
until a click is heard.

Replace wiper blades at least once
per year for optimum performance.

Poor wiper quality can be improved
by cleaning the wiper blades and
the windshield. Refer to Windows
and wiper blades
in the Cleaning chapter.

To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper rubber element.

ENGINE OIL

Checking the engine oil

intervals for checking the engine oil.
