using wipers and washers
E00507600014
l If the moving wipers become blocked by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
motor may burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to OFF. If obstruction
occurs, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and clean the de- posits from the glass so that the wipersoperate smoothly.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and
the blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re- quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen- ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function and frost damage to the system compo- nents.Rear window demister

level; running out of fuel could cause
damage to the catalytic converter.

pushing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or discharged, use another battery
to start the engine.
l Do not idle the engine for prolonged pe-
riods during very rough idle or malfunc-
tioning operating conditions.

the ignition switch. This will cause the catalytic converter to be damaged due tocontact with unburnt fuel.
l Stop driving the vehicle if you think the
performance is noticeably low, or if theengine has a malfunction such as with
the ignition, etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving imme- diately, reduce the speed and drive for
only a short time. We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible.l In unusual situations involving major en-
gine problems, a burnt smell may indi- cate severe and abnormal catalyst over-
heating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be stop- ped in a safe place, the engine switchedoff and the vehicle allowed to cool.
Once the engine is cool, a service, in-
cluding a tune-up to manufacturer’s specifications, should be obtained imme-
diately.Bonnet
