Wiper blades – windshield
The wiper blades should be replaced regularly for best effect.
The windshield wiper blades must be in the vertical (service) position for replacement, washing or to lift them away from the windshield when e.g., removing ice or snow.
Replacing the windshield wiper blades
Note
With the wipers in the service position, fold out the wiper arm from the windshield. Press the button on the wiper blade attachment and pull the wiper blade straight out, parallel with the wiper arm.
Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks into place.
Check that the blade is securely in place.
To return the wipers from the service position to the normal position, fold the wipers back against the windshield and press the START/STOP ENGINE button briefly to put the ignition in mode I (or start the engine).
Cleaning
Keeping the windshield and wiper blades clean helps improve visibility and prolongs the service life of the wiper blades. Clean the wiper blades with a stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soap solution or car washing detergent.
