Windscreen washers
In the OFF (O) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windscreen and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does
not work, you may need to add wash-
er fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.If equipped with a Headlamp Washer,
washer fluid will be sprayed on the
headlamp at the same time you oper-
ate the windscreen washer when:
1. The Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position.
2. The light switch is in the headlamp
position.
ODH043079When 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.
WARNING
•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 windscreen,
do not operate the wipers
when the windscreen is dry.
•To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
•To prevent possible damage
to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.
