When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch in the OFF posi-
tion to stop the auto wiper oper-
ation. The wiper may operate
and be damaged if the switch is
set in the AUTO mode while
washing the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
passenger side windshield
glass. Damage to system parts
could occur and may not be cov-
ered by your vehicle warranty.
Because of using a photo sen-
sor, temporary malfunction
could occur according to sud-
den ambient light change made
by stone and dust while driving.
Front Windshield Washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield 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.

below freezing, ALWAYS warm
the windshield using the
defroster to help prevent the
washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your
vision which could result in an
accident and serious injury or
death.

Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wiper func-
tionality. Common sources of con-
tamination 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 compo-
nents, do not:
Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, 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 windshield 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.
In order to prevent damage to the hood and the wiper arms, the
wiper arms should only be lifted
when in the top wiping position.
Always return the wiper arms to the windshield before driving.
