REPLACING THE REAR WIPER
BLADES
1. Lift the wiper arm.
Note: Do not hold the wiper blade to lift the
wiper arm.
Note: Do not lift the wiper arm beyond the
limited service-up position, as this might
cause damage to the wiper arm. The limited
service-up position is intended to protect
the wiper arm against car washes.
2. Remove the wiper blade.
Note: Make sure that the wiper arm does
not spring back against the glass when the
wiper blade is not attached.
3. To install, reverse the removal
procedure.
Note: Make sure that the wiper blade locks
into place.
WASHERS
WASHER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: If you operate your
vehicle in temperatures below 41°F
(5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze
protection. Failure to use washer fluid
with antifreeze protection in cold
weather could result in impaired
windshield vision and increase the risk
of injury or accident.
Do not operate the washers when the
washer reservoir is empty. This could cause
the washer pump to overheat.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects
hit the windshield.
USING THE WINDSHIELD WASHER
- EXCLUDING: POLICE
Pull the lever toward you to
operate the windshield washer.
Note: A courtesy wipe occurs a short time
after the wipers stop to clear any remaining
washer fluid when switched on. See
Switching the Courtesy Wipe On and Off
(page 104).
