Blade replacement
To prevent damage to the wiper arms or other components, do not attempt to move the wipers manually.
The use of a non-specified wiper blade could result in wiper malfunction and failure.
Front windshield wiper blade
For your convenience, move the windshield wiper blades to the service position as follows;
After turning off the engine, move the wiper switch to the single wiping (MIST) position within 20 seconds and hold the switch more than 2 seconds until the wiper blade is in the fully up position.
Do not allow the wiper arm to fall against the windshield, since it may chip or crack the windshield.
-
Raise the wiper arm.

Lift up the wiper blade clip. Then pull down the blade assembly and remove it.
-
Install the new blade assembly.
-
Return the wiper arm on the windshield.

The wiper could not operate for approximately 10 seconds when the wiper is operated without washer fluid or the blades are frozen. This is not a malfunction, it is a wiper protection system activated by motor overload circuit within the wiper motor.

The front windshield should be cleaned with water hose and wiped with clean towel with wiper blades raised up. Also, the wiper blades should be wiped clean when the grease or wax is applied to the blades.
