Depending on the type of wipers, how to replace the wiper blades and wiper rubber
inserts differs. If you replace them incorrectly, the wipers, and surrounding parts,
may be damaged. Before starting the replacement work, be sure to check the type of
wipers.
NOTE
[For flat blade type]
• When the power mode is "OFF" (models with passive entry and start system)
or the starter switch is in the "LOCK" position (models without passive entry
and start system), the wipers may move slightly. This is caused by the vehicle's
functions to protect the wiper blades from thermal degradation and is not a
malfunction.
• When the power mode is switched to "ON" (models with passive entry and start
system) or the starter switch is turned to the "ON" position (models without
passive entry and start system), the wipers may move slightly. This is caused by
the vehicle's functions to return the wipers to their normal home positions and is
not a malfunction.
