is below freezing, ALWAYS
warm the windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your
vision which could result in an
accident and serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do not
operate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers or windshield,
do not operate the wipers
when the windshield is dry.

wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.

Maintenance
WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a clean
cloth dampened with washer fluid.✽ ✽
NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
Blade replacement
■ ■
Type A
1. Raise the wiper arm and slightly
rotate the wiper blade assembly to
expose the plastic locking clip.
1JBA5122
CAUTION

blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on
or near them.

manually.

blades.
