Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield

the windshield during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.

occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the lever
upward to the Mist position and release for a single
wiping cycle.NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer

spray the windshield with washer fluid.
