Replacing wiper blades
To prevent damage to the hood or the wipers, the wiper
arms should only be folded forward while in the position
shown above.
Turn electronic key in starter switch to position 1.
Turn combination switch to position I, see page 160.
With wiper arms in position shown above, turn
electronic key in starter switch to position 0.
For safety reasons, remove electronic key from
starter switch before replacing a wiper blade,
otherwise the motor can suddenly turn on and cause
injury.
Notes:
Do not open engine hood with wiper arm folded forward.
Do not allow the wiper arm to contact the windshield
glass without a wiper blade inserted. The glass may be
scratched or broken.
Make certain that the wiper blades are properly
installed. An improperly installed wiper blade may
cause windshield damage.
