WINDSHIELD WASHER
The windshield washer can be operated by pulling the
lever toward you to spray fluid when the ignition key is
in either the ªONº or ªACCº position.
When washer fluid is sprayed, the wipers will automati-
cally operate several times.
The spraying fluid stops when the lever is released.
PRECAUTIONS TO OBSERVE WHEN USING
WIPERS AND WASHERS
CAUTION!
If the washer is used in cold weather, the washer
fluid sprayed onto the glass might freeze, resulting
in poor visibility. Heat the glass with the defroster
before using the washer.
NOTE
1. Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry; this could
scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prematurely.
2. Before operating the wipers in cold weather, check to
be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the
windshield. Attempting to operate the wipers while the
blades are frozen could damage the wiper motor.
3. If the wipers become blocked by ice or other deposits
on the glass, the motor may be damaged even if the
wiper switch is OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your

126 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

vehicle in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and clean the
deposits from the glass so that the wipers operate
smoothly.
4. Avoid using the washer for more than 20 seconds at a
time. To avoid pump damage, do not operate the washer
when the fluid reservoir is empty.
5. During cold weather, be sure to add a washer solution
that will not freeze in the washer reservoir. Failure to do
so could result in the loss of windshield washer function
and damage to the system components.
6. Replace wiper blades when they are worn to avoid
loss of visibility when in use. Use the appropriate size
replacement blades; if you have questions, ask your
authorized dealer.DOME LIGHT
The dome/reading light can be operated by moving the
switch as follows:
1. (ON) - The dome light ``ON''.
2. (DOOR) - The dome light goes on when any door is
opened.
3. (OFF) - The dome light stays ``OFF''.
