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.
