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. To prevent possible damage to
the washer pump, do not oper-ate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.
To prevent possible damage to the wipers or windshield, do not
operate the wipers when the
windshield is dry.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
To prevent possible damage to the wipers and washer system,use anti-freezing washer fluidsin the winter season or cold
weather.
NOTICE
When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warmthe 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 ordeath.

Maintenance
WWIIPP EERR BB LLAA DDEESS
Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield 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 good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water. 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
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
In order to prevent damage to the hood and the wiper arms, the
wiper arms should only be liftedwhen in the top wiping position.
Always return the wiper arms to the windshield before driving.
