The wiper blades retract under the hood
when the wipers are turned off. If retrac-
tion is obstructed by snow, etc., at the
bottom of the windshield, the wipers
should be shifted from the retracted posi-
tion (position 2) to the rest position (posi-
tion 1) above the hood level. When the
snow season is over, manually return the
wipers to the retracted position following
the procedure given below.
To shift the windshield wipers from re-
tracted to rest position, hold the con-
nection of the wiper arm and wiper
blade and pull it upward for more than
10 cm (3.9 in.) along the windshield
glass with the force of about 98 N (10
kgf, 22 lbf).
NOTICE
To prevent the wiper blades from be-
ing deformed, be sure to hold the
connection of the wiper arm and wip-
er blade securely.
To return the windshield wipers to re-
tracted position, push the connection of
the wiper arm and wiper blade down-
ward.
