ignition switch to the “OFF” position
and clean the window glass to
allow proper wiper operation.
. Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in
winter, use SUBARU Windshield
Washer Fluid or the equivalent.
Refer to “Windshield Washer Fluid”
�P495.
Also, when driving the vehicle
when there are freezing tempera-
tures, use non-freezing type wiper
blades.
. 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.
. When the wiper switch is in the
“AUTO” position, do not touch the
windshield near the rain sensor
and do not place a wet cloth on the
windshield near the rain sensor.
Doing so may result in unexpected
wiper operation and cause injury.
. When washing the vehicle, make
sure that the wiper is turned off.
Otherwise, the wipers may operate
unexpectedly and cause injury.
. When having your vehicle washed
in an automatic car wash, make
sure that the wiper is turned off.
Otherwise, the wipers may be
damaged because they may oper-
ate unexpectedly and car wash
brushes could become tangled
around them.
NOTE
. The windshield wiper motor is pro-
tected against overloads by a circuit
breaker. If the motor operates con-
tinuously under an unusually heavy
load, the circuit breaker may trip to
stop the motor temporarily. If this
happens, park your vehicle in a safe
location, turn off the wiper switch, and
wait for approximately 10 minutes.
The circuit breaker will reset itself, and
the wipers will again operate normally.
. Clean your blade rubbers and window
glass periodically with a washer solu-
tion to prevent streaking, and to
remove accumulations of road salt or
road film. Operate the windshield
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 op-
erating the windshield washer or if the
wiper operation is jerky, clean the
outer surface of the windshield and
rear window 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 rub-
bers, 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.
. If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after following this procedure,
replace the wiper blades (or blade
rubbers) with new ones. For replace-
ment instructions, refer to “Replace-
ment of Wiper Blades” �P496.
. When the wiper switch is turned to the
“AUTO” position while the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position, the
wipers will operate once. This indi-
cates that the wiper switch is in the
“AUTO” position.
