Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch
When the switch or lever is operated,
the windshield wiper/washer
operates.
With Auto-Wiper Control
With Intermittent Wiper
Warning and Cautions forUsing the Windshield
Wiper/Washer Switch
WARNING
In cold regions, use washer fluid
containing anti-freeze. In addition,
warm the windshield glass before
spraying washer fluid during cold
temperatures.
If washer fluid not containing
anti-freeze is used during cold
temperatures, it will freeze on the
windshield causing reduced visibility
which may lead to an accident. Before
spraying washer fluid, use the defroster
to make sure that the windshield is
sufficiently warmed up.
CAUTION
When the windshield wipers are not
used during freezing temperatures or
for a long time, the wiper rubber
may freeze to the glass. If the wipers
are operated while frozen to the
glass, it could damage the wiper
rubber and motor.
If the windshield wipers are operated
while the windshield glass is dry, the
glass could be scratched and the
wiper rubber damaged. When the
window glass is dry, spray washer
fluid before operating the wipers.
If the amount of washer fluid spray is
insufficient, do not use the
windshield washer switch. If the
washer switch continues to be
operated with no washer fluid being
sprayed, it could lead to pump
damage.
