Wiper and washer

S03AM

WARNING

In freezing weather, do not use the

windshield washer until the wind-

shield is sufficiently warmed by the

defroster.

Otherwise the washer fluid can

freeze on the windshield, blocking

your view.

CAUTION

. Do not operate the washer con-

tinuously for more than 10 sec-

onds, or when the washer fluid

tank is empty. This may cause

overheating of the washer motor.

Check the washer fluid level fre-

quently, such as at fuel stops.

. Do not operate the wipers when

the windshield or rear window is

dry. This may scratch the glass,

damage the blade rubbers and

might cause the wiper motor to

fail. Before operating the wiper

on a dry windshield or rear win-

dow, always use the windshield

washer.

. In freezing weather, be sure that

the blade rubbers are not frozen

to the windshield or rear window

before switching on the wipers.

Attempting to operate the wiper

with the blades frozen to the

window glass could cause not

only the blade rubbers to be

damaged but also might cause

the wiper motor to fail. If the blade

rubbers are frozen to the window

glass, be sure to operate the

defroster, windshield wiper dei-

cer (if equipped) or rear window

defogger before turning on the

wiper.

. If the wipers stop during opera-

tion because of ice or some other

obstruction on the window, this

might cause the wiper motor to

fail even if the wiper switch is

turned off. If this occurs,

promptly stop the vehicle in a

safe place, turn the ignition

switch to the “LOCK”/“OFF” po-

sition 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” F11-29.

. Do not clean the blade rubbers

with gasoline or a solvent, such

as paint thinner or benzine. This

will cause deterioration of the

blade rubbers.

NOTE

. The windshield wiper motor is pro-

tected against overloads by a circuit

breaker. If the motor operates continu-

ously under an unusually heavy load,

the circuit breaker may trip to stop the

motor temporarily. If this happens, park

your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the

wiper switch, and wait for approxi-

mately 10 minutes. The circuit breaker

will reset itself, and the wipers will

again operate normally.

. Clean your blade rubbers and win-

dow glass periodically with a washer

solution 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 blade

rubbers results in jerky wiper operation

and streaking on the glass. If you

cannot remove those streaks after

operating the washer or if the wiper

operation is jerky, clean the outer sur-

face of the windshield or rear window

and the blade rubbers using a sponge

or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or

mild-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning,

rinse the window glass and blade

rubbers with clean water. The glass is

clean if no beads form on the glass

when you rinse with water.

. If you cannot eliminate the streaking

even after following this procedure,

replace the blade rubbers with new

ones. For replacement instructions,

refer to “Replacement of wiper blades”

F11-30.
