WARNING  
Windshield washer fluid without enough frost protection can freeze on the windshield and  
reduce visibility.  
Use the windshield washer system with enough frost protection for winter temperatures.  
Never use the windshield wipers/washers when it is freezing without first defrosting the  
windshield. The washer solution may freeze on the windshield and reduce visibility.  
WARNING  
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe  
injuries.  
Always replace wiper blades that are worn, damaged, or do not keep the windshield clear.  
NOTICE  
To help prevent damage to the wiper blades and the wiper motor when it is cold outside,  
always make sure that blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.  
Using the windshield wiper service position can be helpful in cold weather so the wipers do not  
freeze to the windshield.
