Driver Controls Changing the wiper blades It is recommended that wiper blades are renewed before winter. To replace the wiper blades: 1. Fold back the wiper arm and position the wiper blade at right angles to the wiper arm. 2. To remove, press the retaining clip (A) to disengage the wiper blade, then pull the blade down toward the windshield to remove it from the arm. 3. Install the new wiper blade on the arm and press it into place until a click is heard. Replace wiper blades at least once per year for optimum performance. Poor wiper quality can sometimes be improved by cleaning the wiper blades, refer to Windows and wiper blades in the Cleaning chapter. To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the wiper rubber element. Rear window wiper blade Refer to Windshield wiper blades in this section and follow the same procedure given for checking and changing the wiper blades.
