Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
EE13C-I
(1) If the moving wipers become blocked
by ice or other deposits on the glass,
the motor may burn out even if the
wiper switch is turned to OFF. If
obstruction occurs, park your vehicle in
a safe place, turn off the ignition, and
clean the deposits from the glass so
that the wipers operate smoothly.
(2) Do not use the wipers when the glass
is dry. They may scratch the glass sur-
face or the blades may prematurely
wear out.
(3) Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may
burn out if the wipers are used with the
blades frozen onto the glass.
(4) Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid reser-
voir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
(5) Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if
required.
During cold weather, add a recom-
mended washer solution that will not
freeze in the washer reservoir. Fail-
ure to do so could result in loss of
washer function and frost damage to
the system components.
