Precautions to observe
when using wipers and
washers
E00507600027
●
If the moving wipers become blocked by ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor may burn out even if thewiper switch is turned to OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and clean the deposits from the gla
ss so that the wipers operate
smoothly.
●
Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry. They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prema-turely.
●
Before using the wipers in co
ld weather, check that the
wiper blades are not frozen onto the glass. The motor mayburn out if the wipers are used
with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
●
Avoid using the washer continuously for more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the wa
sher when the fluid reser-
voir is empty. Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
●
Periodically check the level of washer fluid in the reser- voir and refill if required. During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution
that will not freeze in the wash
er reservoir. Failure to do
so could result in loss of washer function and frost dam- age to the system components.

Because of the necessity of this
anti-corrosion agent, the cool-
ant must not be replaced with
plain water even in summer. The
required concentration of anti
-freeze differs depending on the
expected ambient temperature.During cold weatherThe engine coolant mixture used
at the factory provides protec-
tion against freezing for temperat
ures as low as approximately
-30 °C. The concentration should
be checked before the start of
cold weather and anti-freeze adde
d to the system if necessary
to prevent damage to engine
and radiator due to freezing.

Windscreen washer fluidThe windshield washer fluid reservoir is in the engine compart- ment. Check the washer fluid level
at regular intervals and add
washer fluid to reservoir if necessary.NOTE●
The washer fluid container
serves the windscreen and
headlamps (if so equipped).
Ambient temperature

Anti-freeze concentra-
tion %

CAUTION
!●
Do not use alcohol or me
thanol anti-freeze or any
engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanolanti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminium components.
●
For effective anti-corro
sion and anti-freeze per-
formance, keep the anti-f
reeze concentration within
the range of 30 to 60 %. Concentrations
exceeding 60 % will result in a
reduction of both the an
ti-freeze and cooling per-
formance thus adversely
affecting the engine.
●
Do not top up with water only.
