To clean the windshield, push in the end of the
wiper knob. For a constant spray, keep the knob
pushed in. After you release the knob, the
wipers operate for two or three cycles before
turning off (if wipers were off) or retruning to
the interval setting selected.
[SC01600(ALL)08/95]
Do not try to clean the windshield when the
washer fluid container is empty or activate the
washers at any time for more than 15 seconds
continuously. This could damage the washer
pump system.
[SC01650(ALL)08/95]
RWARNING
In freezing weather, warm up the
windshield with the defroster before you
use the washer fluid. If you do not do
this, the washer solution may freeze on
the windshield and obscure your vision.
This may result in a collision, possibly
injuring you and others.

Leave the engine coolant in all year. Make sure
that the coolant will not freeze at the
temperature level in which you drive during
winter months. Keep an engine coolant in your
engine that has a protection rating of at least
-20ÊF (-29ÊC), orwhatever protection rating is
appropriate for the climate in which you live.

You may add water by itself only in an
emergency, but you should replace it with a
50/50 mixture as soon as possible.

Have your dealer check the engine cooling
system for leaks if you have to add a quart
(liter) of engine coolant more than once a month.

[SV22500(ALL)01/95]
Use specially formulated windshield washer
fluid rather than plain water, because specially
formulated washer fluids contain additives that
dissolve road grime. For safety reasons, washer
fluids containing an appropriate antifreeze such
as methanol should be used in freezing weather

302(temperatures below32ÊF [0ÊC]).State or local
regulations on Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC's) may restrict use of the most common
antifreeze, methanol. Washer fluids containing
non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather protection
without damaging the vehicle's paint finish,
wiper blades, and windshield washer system.

Location of the rear windshield washer reservoir
[SV22650(ALL)09/95]
The wagon's rear reservoir is located on the
passenger side of the storage compartment. You
must remove the access cover to find the washer
reservoir cap. The reservoir must be filled slowly
to allow air trapped in the reservoir to escape.

Wiper Blades
*
[SV23300(ALL)03/95]
Check the windshield wiper blades at least twice
a year. Also check them whenever they seem
less effective than usual. Substances such as tree
sap and some hot wax treatments used by
commercial car washes reduce the effectiveness
of wiper blades.
