Precautions to observe when using wipers and
washers
N00523500195
NOTEDo not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This
could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prema-
turely.
Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure
that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or
rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen
could cause the wiper motor to burn out.
If the wipers become blocked by ice or other deposits on
the glass, the motor may still burn out even if the wiper
switch is OFF. If deposits form on the windshield, park
your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, and clean
the glass so that the wipers can operate smoothly.
Avoid using the washer for more than 20 seconds at a
time. Do not operate the washer when the washer fluid
reservoir is empty or the pump may fail.
During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution
that will not freeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Other-
wise the washer may not work or may be damaged.
CAUTION
!If the washer is used in cold weather, the washer
fluid sprayed onto the glass might freeze, blocking
your view. Heat the glass with the defroster before
using the washer.
