Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an extended
time should NEVER be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be disposed of properly.
Do not use the wrong kind of brake/clutch fluid. A few drops of
mineral based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake/clutch system can
damage brake/clutch system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid
(refer to "Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities" in chapter 8).
Checking the Washer Fluid
Level
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.i
NOTICE
OAD075011
To prevent serious injury or death,
take the following safety precau-
tions when using washer fluid:
Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windshield and may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting
in an accident or damage to paint
and body trim.
Do not allow sparks or flame to
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer
fluid may contain alcohol and can
be flammable.
Do not drink washer fluid and
avoid contact with skin. Washer
fluid is harmful to humans and
animals.
Keep washer fluid away from chil-
dren and animals.

Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the windshield or
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield wiper functionality. Common
sources of contamination are insects,
tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by
some commercial car washes. If the
blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the window and the blades with a
clean cloth dampened with washer fluid. To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other components, do
not:
Use gasoline, kerosene, paint thin-
ner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Attempt to move the wipers manual- ly.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
or other components, do not attempt
to move the wipers manually.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper malfunc-
tion and failure.
