continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may

below freezing, ALWAYS warmthe 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.

to the washer pump, do notoperate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.

nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually or oper-
ate the wipers when the wind-
shield is dry.

ate and be damaged if the

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.
