Wiper and washer operation
When the ignition switch is in "ON" posi-
tion, you can use the wiper/washer lever.
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 a
SUZUKI dealer to have the wipers
inspected.

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.
BEFORE DRIVING
Windshield washer
78RB02060
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.
.A, 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.
