Windscreen washers
In the O (off) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windscreen and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does
not work, you may need to add wash-
er fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.

When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm
the windscreen using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
screen and obscuring your
vision which could result in an
accident and serious injury or
death.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do not
operate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers or windscreen,
do not operate the wipers
when the windscreen is dry.
To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.
Washer fluid contains alcohol
and the smell of alcohol may
enter the vehicle when the
washer fluid is sprayed. When
using washer fluid, have the
air intake set at "Fresh" or
open the windows.

Maintenance
Whilst operating your vehicle:
Check for vibrations in the steeringwheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-
tion.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when travelling on smooth, level
road.
When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your reduction gear
occurs, check the reduction gear
fluid level.
Check the reduction gear P (Park) function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the coolantreservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tyres including the spare for tyres
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year: (i.e., every Spring and Fall)
Check radiator, heater and air condi-
tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
Check windscreen washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened
with washer fluid.
Check headlamp alignment.
Check the seat belts for wear and function.
At least once a year:
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and bonnethinges.
Lubricate door and bonnet locks and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
Check the air conditioning system.
Inspect and lubricate reduction gear linkage and controls.
Clean the battery and terminals.
Check the brake fluid level.

Blade inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a clean
cloth dampened with washer fluid.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use petrol, kerosene, paint thin-
ner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Attempt to move the wipers manually.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windscreen difficult to clean.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, 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 manu-
ally.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure. 1. Raise the wiper arm.
