Front windshield washers
OTLE045163
In the OFF (O) 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 washer fluid to the washer
fluid reservoir.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is below
freezing, ALWAYS warm the windshield
using the defroster to prevent the
washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• 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 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 fluids in the winter
season or cold weather.
