BATTERY MAINTENANCEWINDSHIELD WIPERS
Properly functioning windshield wipers
are essential for safe driving and clear
vision.
Check condition of wiper blades from time
to time.
Hardened, brittle or smearing blades must
be replaced.
Since there is no way to successfully
remove traces of silicone from any glass,
be certain not to apply any polish
containing silicone to the windshield of
your vehicle since this will result in streaks
which impair vision.
Contamination of either the window or the
wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the windshield
wipers. If the blades are not wiping
properly, clean both the window and the
blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rince thoroughly with clear
water.
Repeat if necessary.
To replace the wiper blade, press the
retaining clip and pull the wiper blade off
the arm.
Simply push the new wiper blade onto the
arm.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
or other components, do not attempt to
operate wipers manually.
To prevent damage to wiper blades, do
not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to affect the cleanability of the
window.
