charge

■If no windshield washer fluid

sprays

Do not leave the wipers on longer

than necessary when the EV sys-

tem is off.

Check that the washer nozzles are

not blocked if there is washer fluid in

the windshield washer fluid reser-

voir.

WARNING

■Caution regarding the use of

windshield wipers in “AUTO”

mode (vehicles with rain-

sensing windshield wipers)

The windshield wipers may oper-

ate unexpectedly if the sensor is

touched or the windshield is sub-

ject to vibration in “AUTO” mode.

Take care that your fingers or any-

thing else does not become

caught in the windshield wipers.

■Caution regarding the use of

washer fluid

When it is cold, do not use the

washer fluid until the windshield

becomes warm. The fluid may

freeze on the windshield and

cause low visibility. This may lead

to an accident, resulting in death

or serious injury.

NOTICE

■When the washer fluid tank is

empty

Do not operate the switch continu-

ally as the washer fluid pump may

overheat.
