In the OFF (O) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does
not work, you may need to add wash-
er fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.If equipped with the Headlamp
Washer, washer fluid will be sprayed
on the headlamp at the same time you
operate the windshield washer when:
1. The Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position.
2. The light switch is in the headlamp
position.

When the outside temperature 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 acci-
dent and serious injury or death.
WARNING
•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.
•To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
•To prevent possible damage
to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.
