(5F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the
wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.

strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.
