Blade inspection
Information
Hot wax in market may be used in
automatic car washes. However, it is
known to make it difficult to clean the
windshield.
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign substances may undermine the
effects of the windshield wipers.
Common contamination sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treat-
ments used in some car washes.
When the blades do not properly
wipe off, clean the window and
blades with a good-quality cleaner or
mild detergent. Then, thoroughly
wash them with clean water.
Do not use gasolines, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on
or near the wiper blades to pre-
vent damage.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer ade-
quately clean, the blades may be
worn out or cracked. Then, replace-
ment is required.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to manually move the
wipers.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
Front windshield wiper blade
For your convenience, move the
windshield wiper blades as illustrat-
ed.
Turn off the engine.
Fully raise the wipers by setting the
wiper lever in the single wiping
(MIST) position less than 20 sec-
onds.
