Changing Wiper Blades

If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first with a paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, you should change the wiper blades.
  1. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF.
  2. While holding the wiper switch in the MIST position, set the power mode to ON, then to VEHICLE OFF. Both wiper arms are now set to the maintenance position.
  3. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the passenger side.
  4. Press and hold the tab, then slide the holder off the wiper arm.
  5. Pull the wiper blade to the opposite direction to slide it out from its holder.
  6. Insert the flat side of the new wiper blade onto the bottom part of the holder. Insert the blade all the way.
  7. Install the end of the wiper blade into the end cap.
  8. Slide the wiper holder onto the wiper arm, then push down the lock tab.
  9. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the driver side.
