salt or road film. Operate the wind-
shield washer for at least 1 second so
that washer solution will be sprinkled
all over the windshield or rear window.
 Grease, wax, insects, or other mate-
rial on the windshield or the wiper
blade results in jerky wiper operation
and streaking on the glass. If you
cannot remove the streaks after oper-
ating the windshield washer or if the
wiper operation is jerky, clean the
outer surface of the windshield using a
sponge or soft cloth with a neutral
detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. Do
not, however, use detergent to clean
the blade rubbers. Use only a sponge
or soft cloth (and no neutral detergent
or mild abrasive cleaner) when you
clean the blade rubbers. If you wipe the
rubber of the blade strongly, the black
coating component will peel off, which
will cause the wiper to judder. Also,
after wiping it off, check that the rubber
has not come loose. After cleaning the
window glass and wiper blade rubbers,
be sure to rinse them with clean water.
Rinse the window un til the water does
not form beads on the glass. This indi-
cates that the glass is clean.
 If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after followin g this procedure,
replace the wiper blades (or blade rubbers) with new ones. For replace-
ment instructions, refer to "Replace-
ment of Wiper Blades"
P367.

Replacement of Wiper Blades
367
Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
If you fill the windshield washer tank with
a fluid with a different concentration from
the one used previously, purge the old
fluid from the piping between the wind-
shield washer tank and washer nozzles by
operating the washer for a certain period
of time. Otherwise, if the concentration of
the fluid remaining in the piping is too low
for the outside temperature, it may freeze
and block the nozzles.
11-24. Replacement of Wiper BladesGrease, wax, insects, or other material on
the windshield or the wiper blade results in
jerky wiper operation and streaking on the
glass. If you cannot remove the streaks
after operating the windshield washer or if
the wiper operation is jerky, clean the
outer surface of the windshield using a
sponge or soft cloth with a neutral deter-
gent or mild-abrasive cleaner. Do not,
however, use detergent to clean the blade
rubbers. Use only a sponge or soft cloth
(and no neutral deterge nt or mild abrasive
cleaner) when you clean the blade
rubbers. If you wipe the rubber of the
blade strongly, the black coating compo-
nent will peel off, which will cause the
wiper to judder. Also, after wiping it off,
check that the rubber has not come loose.
After cleaning the window glass and wiper
blade rubbers, be sure to rinse them with
clean water. Rinse the window until the
water does not form beads on the glass.
This indicates that the glass is clean.
CAUTION
Never use engine coolant as washer
fluid because it could cause paint
damage.
CAUTION
 Adjust the washer fluid concen-
tration appropriately for the
outside temperature. If the
concentration is inappropriate,
sprayed washer fluid may freeze
on the windshield and obstruct
your view, and the fluid may
freeze in the windshield washer
tank. Be careful foreign matter does
not contaminate the washer fluid
when filling the tank. Contamina-
tion could cause malfunctions,
such as clogging the pump.
 State or local regulations on vola-
tile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol, a
common windshield washer anti-
freeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol anti-
freeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging
your vehicle’s paint, wiper blades
or washer system.
CAUTION
 Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.
