Blade replacement

When the wipers no longer clean adequately, the blades may be worn or cracked, and require replacement.

Operation

  1. Turn off the vehicle.

  2. Move the wiper switch to the single wiping (MIST/1x) position.

  3. Hold the wiper switch for more than 2 seconds.

  4. Type A (if equipped)

    • Raise the wiper arm.

    • Lift the wiper blade clip up. Pull down the blade assembly and remove it.

    • Install the new blade assembly.

  5. Type B (if equipped)

    • Raise the wiper arm and turn the wiper blade assembly to expose the plastic locking clip.

    • Compress the clip and slide the blade assembly downward.

    • Lift it off the arm.

    • Install the blade assembly in the reverse order of removal.

  6. Return the wiper arm on the windshield.

  7. Turn the vehicle on and wiper arms will return to the normal operating position.

Wiper arms

  • Do not allow the wiper arm to fall against the windshield, since it may chip or crack the windshield.

  • Do not pull the wiper arm forward, since arm could chip hood paint.
