1993 BUICK RIVIERA wiper fluid

You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful
in light rain or
snow. Turn the
band to choose the delay time. The
closer to
“LO,” the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed,
turn the band away
from
you to the “LO” position. For high speed wiping,
turn the band further, to “HI.” To stop the wipers, move
$he band to
“OFF.”
A CAUTION:
Damaged wiper blades may prevent you fro!..
seeing well enough to drive safely.
To avoid
damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the
wiper blades before using them.
If they’re
frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or
I
thaw them. If your blades do become damaged,
get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
,snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever there’s a paddle
with the word
“PUSH” on it. To spray washer fluid on
the windshield, just push the paddle for less than a
second. The washer will spray several times, then stop.
Unless they are already turned on, the wipers will
operate at low speed for several sweeps, then turn
off.
To get more fluid on the windshield, push and .hold the
paddle. Spraying will continue as long as the paddle is
held.
If this light comes on, it
means you’re low on
I washer fluid.

Long Trip 0 Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook along

of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you
can easily drive in. On the Road
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it’s ready to go. If it needs
service, have it done before starting out. Of course,
you’ll find experienced and able service experts in
Buick dealerships all across North America. They’ll be
ready and willing to help if
you need it.
Here are
some things you can check before a trip:
0 Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are
all windows clean inside and outside?
0 Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape!
0 Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked all
levels?
0 Lights: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?
0 Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip.
Is the tread good enough for
long-distance driving?
Are the tires all inflated to the
recommended pressure? Unless you
are the only driver, it is good to share
the
driving task with others. Limit turns behind the wheel to
about
100 miles (160 km) or two hours at a sitting.
Then, either change drivers or stop for some refreshment
like coffee, tea or soft drinks and some limbering up. But do stop and move around. Eat lightly along the way.
Heavier meals tend to make some people sleepy.
On two-lane highways or undivided multilane highways
that do not have controlled access, you’ll want to watch for some situations not usually found on freeways.
Examples are: stop signs and signals, shopping centers with direct access to the highway, no passing zones and school zones, vehicles turning left and right off the road,
pedestrians, cyclists, parked vehicles. td even animals.
Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as “highway
hypnosis”?
Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel?
Call
it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or
whatever.
