Windshield wiper and washer
Checking the wiper blade
Periodically check and clean the wiping edge
of the wiper blade.
Check the blade rubber for cracks, splits and
roughness. If any damage, wear or roughness
is detected, replace immediately to prevent
damage to the glass.
Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft
cloth or sponge, using warm soapy water.
Replacing the wiper blade
Install only a replacement wiper blade that is
identical to the original specification.
1. Lift the wiper arm away from the
windshield.
2. Turn the blade at right angles to the arm.
3. Depress the locking tab while sliding the
blade down the arm.
To install the new blade, position the new
assembly on the wiper arm and slide the
blade towards the hooked end of the arm
until it locks into place.
Windshield washer jets
Washer jets are set when your vehicle is
manufactured and should not need adjusting.
If necessary, use a needle to clear blockages,
or lever gently to redirect the spray towards
the center of the windshield.
