Wiper controls
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the windshield washer until the
windshield is sufficiently warmed by the defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
D Do not operate the washer continuously for more than ten se-
conds, or when the washer fluid tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor. Check the washer fluid level fre-
quently, such as at fuel stops.
D Do not operate the wipers when the windshield or rear window
is dry. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and
cause the wiper motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on
a dry windshield or rear window, always use the windshield
washer.
D In freezing weather, be sure the wiper blades are not frozen to
the windshield or rear window before operating the wipers.
D Do not operate the wipers if the wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield or rear window. If the wiper would be operated with
the wiper blades frozen to the windshield or rear window, the
wiper blades could be worn or damaged prematurely, resulting in
streaking or incomplete wiping. Be sure to use the defroster or
rear window defogger, if the wiper blades are frozen to the glass.
D Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.
NOTE
D The wiper operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“ACC” position.
