The windshield will get scratched, or the rubber
blades will get damaged.NOTICEIn cold weather, the blades may freeze to the
windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage
the wipers. Use the defroster to warm the
windshield, then turn the wipers on.
If the vehicle speeds up while the wipers are
operating intermitte ntly, the length of the wipe
interval shortens. When the vehicle starts moving, the
wipers make a single sweep.When the vehicle speeds up, the wiper operation’s shortest
delay setting ( ) and the
LO setting become the same.
Turn the washers off if no washer fluid comes out.
The pump may get damaged.The wiper motor is equipped with a breaker that may
stop motor operation temporarily to prevent an
overload. Wiper operation will return to normal within a
few minutes, once the circuit has returned to normal.
If the wipers stop operating due to any obstacle such as
the build-up of snow, park the vehicle in a safe place.
Rotate the wiper switch to
OFF
, and set the power
mode to ACCESSORY or VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), then
remove the obstacle.
