Replacing wiper blades

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.

 Note

The windshield wiper blades are different lengths. The blade on the driver’s side is longer than the one on the passenger side.

Cleaning

Keeping the windshield/rear window 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.
