Blade replacement

When the wipers no longer clean adequately, the blades may be worn or cracked. Replace the wipers with new ones.

To prevent damage:

  • Never use non-specified wiper blades.

  • Lift the wiper arms when in the top wiping position.

  • Always return the wiper arms to the windshield before driving.

    If the replacement is complete, put down the wiper arm onto the rear windshield, and turn the Engine Start/Stop button to ON and operate the wipers to check the blade is installed correctly.

The rear wiper may not operate for about 10 seconds if the wiper is operated without washer fluid or the blades are frozen to prevent damage to the motor.
