Wiper and washer operation
When the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is ON, you can use
the wiper/washer lever or switch (if
equipped).
When the wipers are under heavy load
such as covered by snow, the breaker will
be activated and the wipers will stop oper-
ating to protect the wiper motor from over-
heating.
If the wiper stops during operation, do the
following methods.
1) Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
turn the engine off.
2) Move the wiper lever and switch to
“OFF” position.
3) Remove obstacles such as snow on the
wipers.
4) After a while, when the temperature of
the wiper motor becomes low enough,
the breaker will be reset automatically
and the wipers will be able to use.
If you cannot use the wipers after a while,
there may be another problem. Ask your
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to
have the wipers inspected.
Windshield wipers
66RH037
To turn the windshield wipers on, move the
lever down to one of the three operating
positions. In “INT” position, the wipers
operate intermittently. The “INT” position is
very convenient for driving in mist or light
rain. In “LO” position, the wipers operate at
a steady low speed. In “HI” position, the
wipers operate at a steady high speed. To
turn off the wipers, move the lever back to
“OFF” position.
Move the lever up and hold it to “MIST”
position, the windshield wipers will turn on
continuously at low speed.
WARNING
To avoid possible injury, do not oper-
ate controls by reaching through the
steering wheel.

To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windshield wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and your vehicle is
equipped with “INT” position.
Rear window wiper/washer switch
(if equipped)

To turn the rear wiper on, twist the rear
wiper switch on the end of the lever for-
ward to “ON” position. To turn the rear
wiper off, twist the switch rearward to
“OFF” position.
With the rear wiper in “OFF” position, twist
the switch rearward and hold it there to
spray window washer fluid.
With the rear wiper in “ON” position, turn
the switch forward and hold it there to
spray window washer fluid.
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. Make sure it often when the
weather is bad.
• Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the tempera-
ture falls low enough to freeze the
solution.
