Windscreen washers

gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windscreen and to run
the wipers 1-3 cycles. Use this func-
tion when the windscreen is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever.If the washer does not work, check
the washer fluid level. If the fluid level
is not sufficient, you will need to add
appropriate non-abrasive wind-
screen washer fluid to the washer
reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment
on the driver side.
CAUTION
• When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch in the OFF
position to stop the auto wiper
operation. The wiper may oper-
ate and be damaged if the
switch is set in the AUTO mode
whilst washing the vehicle.
• Do not remove the sensor
cover located on the upper
end of the driver side wind-
screen glass. Damage to sys-
tem parts could occur and
may not be covered by your
vehicle warranty.

winter, set the wiper switch in
the OFF position. Otherwise,
wipers may operate and ice
may damage the windscreen
wiper blades. Always remove
all snow and ice and defrost
the windscreen properly prior
to operating the windscreen
wipers.

When the outside temperature
is below freezing, ALWAYS
warm the windscreen using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
screen and obscuring your
vision which could result in an
accident and serious injury or
death.
