on the hood or the windshield wiper mo­
tor.

do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near the
wiper blades.
- To help prevent damage to the wiper arms or other components, do not at­
tempt to move the wipers by hand.
@ Tips
- Commercial hot waxes applied by auto­ matic car washes affect the how easily
the glass surface can be cleaned.
- You can also use the service position, for example, if you want to protect the
windshield from icing by using a cover .
