CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off whendriving through an automatic car wash.
Damage to the windshield wipers may
result if the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to
the park position before turning off the
engine. If the wiper switch is left on and
the wipers freeze to the windshield,
damage to the wiper motor may occur
when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades
from returning to the off position. If the
windshield wiper control is turned off
and the blades cannot return to the off
position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.
