Windshield Washers
ODN8059209K
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 washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is 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.
NOTICE

[ 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.

How Vehicle Radio Works
FM reception
OJF045308L
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This signal
is then received by the radio and sent to
your vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering
of your audio system ensures the best
possible quality reproduction. However,
in some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio stations
or the presence of buildings, bridges or
other large obstructions in the area.
AM (MW, LW) reception
OJF045309L
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather
than travelling straight out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.
