Windshield Washer Fluid
Front
80JM078
Check that there is washer fluid in the tank.Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality windshield washer fluid, diluted with water as necessary.
Air Conditioning System
If you do not use the air conditioner for along period, such as during winter, it maynot give the best performance when you start using it again. To help maintain opti- mum performance and durability of your airconditioner, it needs to be run periodically. Operate the air condit ioner at least once a month for one minute with the engineidling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil and helps protect the internal components.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Do not use “antifreeze” solution in the windshield washer reservoir. Thiscan severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windshield, and can also damage your vehicle’s paint.
NOTICE
Damage may result if the washermotor is operated with no fluid in the washer tank.
