properly wiped. As a result, you may not be
able to observe surrounding traffic condi-
tions and could cause an accident.

The wiper arms should only be folded for-
ward when in the vertical position.


Never open the hood when the wiper arm is
folded forward.

arm back. If released, the force of the impact
from the tensioning spring could crack the wind-
