Check the condition of the wiper
blades at least every six months.
Look for signs of cracking in the
rubber, or areas that are getting
hard. Replace the blades if you find
these signs, or if they leave streaks
and unwiped areas when used.
To replace the blade:
Raise the wiper arm off the
windscreen.
Raise the driver’s side first, then
the passenger’s side.
Do not open the bonnet when the
wiper arms are raised, or you will
damage the bonnet and the arms.
When replacing a wiper blade,
make sure not to drop the wiper
blade or wiper arm down on the
windscreen.
Disconnect the blade assembly
from the wiper arm:
Press and hold the lock tab.
Slidethebladeassemblytoward
the lock tab until it release from
the wiper arm.
