wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become
blocked partway through a sweep by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
wipers may temporarily stop operating
to prevent the motor from overheating.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe
place, turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation
mode in OFF, and then remove the ice
or other deposits. Because the wipers
will start operating again after the wiper
motor cools down, check that the
wipers operate before using them.
Do not use the wipers when the
glass is dry. They may scratch the glass
surface and the blades wear out
prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold
weather, check that the wiper blades
are not frozen onto the glass. The
motor may burn out if the wipers are
used with the blades frozen onto the
glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously
for more than 20 seconds. Do not
operate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the motor
may burn out.
Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution that will
