Fold up the wiper arm when it is in service
position. Press the button located on the
wiper blade mounting and pull straight out
parallel with the wiper arm.
Slide in the new wiper blade until a "click" is
heard.
Check that the blade is firmly installed.
4. Fold the wiper arm back towards the wind-
screen.
The wipers return from service position to their
starting position when you briefly press the
START/STOP ENGINE button to set the car’s
electrical system to key position I (or when the
car is started).
NOTE
The wiper blades are different lengths. The
blade on the driver's side is longer than on
the passenger side.
Cleaning
For cleaning wiper blades and windscreen, see
Car wash (p. 403).
IMPORTANT
Check the blades regularly. Neglected main-
tenance shortens the service life of the wiper
blades.
