CAUTION
•Do not operate the washer continuously for
more than 30 seconds.
•Do not operate the washer if the window
washer fluid reservoir is empty.
•Do not fill the window washer reservoir tank
with washer fluid concentrates at full
strength. Some methyl alcohol based
washer fluid concentrates may permanently
stain the grille if spilled while filling the
window washer reservoir tank.

or ice, the wiper may stop moving to protect
its motor. If this occurs, turn the wiper switch
to the “OFF” position and remove the snow
or ice on and around the wiper arms. In
approximately 1 minute, turn the switch on
again to operate the wiper.
•Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has
collected on the windshield can scratch the
glass if wiping takes place when the wind-
shield is dry.
•If it is necessary to switch on the wipers in
dry weather conditions, always operate them
using washer fluid.
•If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may
be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windshield with washer fluid after an auto-
matic car wash.
