364 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement 1. Lift the wiper arm away from the glass. 2. Push the release tab and slide the wiper blade assembly down along the arm. Gently place the wiper arm on the windshield. 3. Install the new blade assembly onto the wiper arm tip until it locks in place. Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the rear of the engine compartment on the right side and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radiator antifreeze). Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system. If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system, or if exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a competent technician inspect the complete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for an oil change or lubrication. Replace as required. WARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. To avoid breathing CO, refer to "Exhaust Gas" in the Safety Tips section of this manual.
