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.

cloth.
Window glass
E00901600032
The window glass can normally be cleaned using only asponge and water. Glass cleaner can be used to re
move oil, grease, dead insects,
etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, softcloth. Never use the same cloth to wipe the window glass as would be used to wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparencyand visibility.NOTE●
To clean the inside of the backdoor window, always use a soft cloth and wipe the wind
ow glass along the demister
heater element so as not to cause damage.
