wipers operate at a steady high speed. To

turn off the wipers, move the lever back to

“OFF” position.

WARNING

• To prevent windshield icing in cold

weather, turn on the defroster to

heat the windshield before and

during windshield washer use.

• Do not use radiator antifreeze in

the windshield washer reservoir. It

can severely impair visibility when

sprayed on the windshield, and can

also damage your vehicle’s paint.

EXAMPLE

NOTICE

To help prevent damage to the wind-

shield wiper and washer system

components, you should take the fol-

lowing precautions:

• Do not continue to hold in the lever

when there is no windshield

washer fluid being sprayed or the

washer motor can be damaged.

• Do not attempt to remove dirt from

a dry windshield with the wipers or

you can damage the windshield

and the wiper blades. Always wet

the windshield with washer fluid

before operating the wipers.

• Clear ice or packed snow from the

wiper blades before using the wip-

ers.

• Check the washer fluid level regu-

larly. Check it often when the

weather is bad.

• Fill a reservoir 3/4 full with washer

fluid to for its expansion, if tem-

perature falls low enough to freeze

the fluid.
