Features of your vehicle
Windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. Use this function
when the windshield is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may
need to add washer fluid to the
washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
When the outside temperature
is below freezing, ALWAYS
warm the windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your
vision which could result in an
accident and serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
• To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do not
operate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
• To prevent possible damage
to the wipers or windshield,
do not operate the wipers
when the windshield is dry.
• To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.

WIPER BLADES
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.
Blade replacement
■Ty p e A
1. Raise the wiper arm and slightly
rotate the wiper blade assembly to
expose the plastic locking clip.
1JBA5122
CAUTION
Do not allow the wiper arm to
fall against the windshield,
since it may chip or crack the
windshield.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
• Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on
or near them.
• Attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• Use non-specified wiper
blades.
