Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Shift into Park, switch the wipers off and touch Controls > Service > Wiper Service Mode.
- 02
Lift one arm only far enough to access the blade and place a towel between the arm and windshield.
- 03
Press the blade locking tab and slide the old blade away from the arm.
- 04
Slide the correct replacement onto the arm until it clicks, then perform a gentle push-pull check.
- 05
Lower the arm carefully and turn Wiper Service Mode off to return both wipers to Park.
Important limits
- The arms do not lock upright and must not be lifted beyond their intended travel.
- An unprotected arm can spring against and crack the windshield.
- Use identical compatible blades; a loose blade can detach and cause serious damage.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the wipers do not move to service position, confirm Park and that normal wipers are off.
- ✓If the new blade will not click, compare its connector with the original.
- ✓Do not operate the wipers until both blades pass the push-pull check.
