4-37 Windshield Washers

vate the washer. The wiper will automatically turn on
and wipe for 1 to 3 cycles after the lever is released.

If the washer does not work, check the washer fluid
level. If the fluid level is not sufficient, add an appro-
priate, non-abrasive, windshield washer fluid to the
washer reservoir. The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment, on the passen-
ger’s side.
CAUTION
Do not use the washer in freezing temperatures
without first warming the windshield with the
defrosters; the washer solution could freeze on
contact with the windshield and obscure your
vision.✽
NOTICE
To prevent possible damage to the washer pump,
do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir
is empty.
