Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.
Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch
keeps the bonnet from opening when the
primary latch is released.
Wiper Blades
CAUTION
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol, paraf ¿ n,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched.
If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
¿ ngers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing or
servicing the vehicle, make sure the
wiper lever is in the OFF position.
Contamination of either the windscreen or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.

CAUTION
Do not bend or discard the stiffeners.
You need to use them again.
If the metal stiffeners are switched,
the blade's wiping ef ¿ ciency could
be reduced.
So do not use the driver's side metal
stiffeners on the passenger's side, or
vice versa.
Be sure to reinstall the metal
stiffeners in the new blade rubber so
that the curve is the same as it was in
the old blade rubber.
6. Carefully insert the new blade rubber.
Then install the blade assembly in the
reverse order of removal.
(Type B)
1. Raise the wiper arm and turn the blade
assembly to expose the plastic locking
clip.
Compress the clip and slide the
assembly downward; then lift it off the
arm.
Plastic locking clip
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the windscreen let
the wiper arm down easily, do not let it
slap down on the windscreen.
2. Hold the end of the rubber and pull
until the tabs are free of the metal
support.
