Check that there is washer fluid in the tank by looking at the washer fluid level gauge which is attached to the cap of the washer
D
fluid tank. If the fluid level is near empty, refill it.
Use a good quality windshield washer
fluid, diluted with water as necessary.
A WARNING
Do not use "antifreeze" solution in the windshield washer reservoir. This can severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windshield, and can also damage your vehicle's paint.
CAUTION
Damage may result if the washer
motor is operated with no fluid in the
washer tank.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Air Conditioning System
If you do not use the air conditioner for a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you start using it again. To help maintain opti
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically .. Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil and helps protect the internal components.
