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.
