visibility. Heat the glass with the de-
froster or demister before using the
washer.

with the ignition switch “ON” position and
the lamp switch at “ ” or “ ” position.
1 - Push the button once and the washer

Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
EE13C-Af
(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 ob-
struction 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
surface or the blades may prema-
turely wear out.
(3)
Before using the wipers in cold
weather, check that the wiper blades
are not frozen onto the glass. The mo-
tor 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
operate the washer when the fluid
reservoir 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. Failure
to do so could result in loss of washer
function and frost damage to the sys-
tem components.
(6) If the washer is used in cold weather,
the washer fluid sprayed against the
glass may freeze resulting in poor vis-
ibility. Heat the glass with the
defroster or demister before using the
washer.

MAINTENANCE
Washer fluidEM31A-Rd
Check the washer fluid level in the con-
tainer.
If the level is low, replenish the container
with washer fluid.
NOTE
The washer fluid container serves the
windscreen and headlamps*
*: Option
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the wash-
ers at low temperatures, use a fluid con-
taining an anti-freezing agent.Be sure that the wheel nuts are tightened
correctly. Refer to the section of this man-
ual entitled “For emergencies” for informa-
tion concerning replacement of the tyres.
NOTE
The mark and the location of the tyre tread
wear indicators are different depending on
tyre manufacturers.
9-10
Wheel conditionEM32A-Bi
1 - Tread wear indicator position
2 - Tread wear indicator
Be sure to check the tyres for cuts, cracks
and other damage. Replace the tyres if
there are deep cuts or cracks. Also check
each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very danger-
ous because of the greater chance of
skidding or hydroplaning. The tread depth
of the tyres must exceed 1.6 mm in order
for the tyres to meet the minimum require-
ment for use.
If there are tread wear indicators on the
tyres, they will appear in six places on the
surface of the tyre as the tyre wears,
thereby indicating that the tyre no longer
meets the minimum requirement for use.
When these wear indicators do appear,
the tyres must be replaced with new ones.
