Checking the wiper blades

If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean both the windshield and
wiper blades using undiluted windshield wiper solution or a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To avoid damaging the
blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or other solvents.

Changing the wiper blades

1. Pull the wiper arm away from

the vehicle. Turn the blade at an
angle from the wiper arm. Push
the lock pin manually to release
the blade and pull the wiper
blade down toward the
windshield to remove it from
the arm.

2. Attach the new wiper to the

wiper 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.

ENGINE OIL

Checking the engine oil

Refer to

service maintenance section

for the appropriate intervals for

checking the engine oil.

1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.

2. Turn the engine off and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into

the oil pan.

3. Set the parking brake and ensure the gearshift is securely latched in P

(Park) (automatic transmissions) or 1 (First) (manual transmissions).
