To switch the alarm off with the key: press
theorbutton on the key. The
alarm is switched off
or
Vehicles with a push button ignition switch:
•Remove the start/stop button from the
ignition lock (see " Push-button ignition
switch (if equipped)")
•Insert the key into the ignition lock. The
alarm stops.
The alarm is not switched off, even if you
close the open door that has triggered it, for
example.
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solu-
tion may freeze on the windshield and ob-
scure your vision which may lead to an ac-
cident. Warm the windshield with the
defroster before you wash the windshield.
CAUTION
•Do not operate the washer continuously
for more than 30 seconds.
•Do not operate the washer if the win-
dow 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 reser-
voir tank.
•Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with
water to the manufacturer’s recom-
mended levels before pouring the fluid
into the window washer reservoir tank.
Do not use the window washer reservoir
tank to mix the washer fluid concentrate
and water.NOTE
•If the wiper operation is interrupted by
snow 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 windshield 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 au-
tomatic car wash.
WIPER AND WASHER SWITCH

SWITCHING THE WINDSHIELD
WIPERS ON/OFF
1Windshield wipers off.
2Intermittent wipe, low (rain sensor
set to low sensitivity).
3Intermittent wipe, high (rain sen-
sor set to high sensitivity).
4Continuous wipe, slow.
5Continuous wipe, fast.
ASingle wipe/
wipe the windshield using washer fluid.
The windshield wiper and washer operate
when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Turn the combination switch to the desired
position.
Rain sensor (if equipped)
The rain-sensing auto wiper system uses the
rain sensor located on the upper part of the
windshield
1.
CAUTION
•Do not touch the rain sensor and around
it
1when the wiper switch is in the
orposition and the ignition switch
is in the ON position. The wipers may
operate unexpectedly and cause an in-
jury or may damage a wiper.
•The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch
is left in the
orposition, the
wipers may operate unexpectedly when
dirt, fingerprints, oil film or insects are
stuck on or around the sensor. The wip-
ers may also operate when exhaust gas
or moisture affect the rain sensor.
•When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the
rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher
even though the amount of the rainfall is
small.
•Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
•The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain sen-
sor even if it is raining.
•Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the
rain-sensing auto wiper system. For ad-
ditional information, refer to "Wiper
blades".

•Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
shield becomes dirty in dry weather con-
ditions, the windshield wipers may be
activated inadvertently. This could
damage the windshield wiper blades or
scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always
switch off the windshield wipers in dry
weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the
orposition, the appropriate wiping fre-
quency is automatically set according to the
intensity of the rain. In the
position, the
rain sensor is more sensitive than in the
position, causing the windshield wiper
to wipe more frequently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield
will no longer be wiped properly. This could
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions.

WARNING
•Operating the engine with the air
cleaner filter off can cause you or others
to be burned. The air cleaner filter not
only cleans the intake air, it also stops
the flame if the engine backfires. If the
air cleaner is not installed and the engine
backfires, you could be burned. Never
drive with the air cleaner filter off. Be
cautious working on the engine when
the air cleaner is off.
•Never pour fuel into the throttle body or
attempt to start the engine with the air
cleaner removed. Doing so could result
in serious injury.
CLEANING
If the windshield or rear window is not clear
after using the window washer or if a wiper
blade chatters when running, wax or other
material may be on the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield or rear
window with a washer solution or a mild
detergent. The windshield or rear window is
clean if beads do not form when rinsing with
clear water.
Clean the blade by wiping it with a cloth
soaked in a washer solution or a mild deter-
gent. Then rinse the blade with clear water. If
the windshield or rear window is still not clear
after cleaning the blades and using the wiper,
replace the blades.
CAUTION
Worn windshield wiper blades can damage
the windshield and impair driver vision.
