Driving your vehicle

WARNING

Do not use the washer in freezing
temperatures without first warming
the windshield with the defrosters;
the washer solution could freeze on
contact with the windshield and
obscure your vision.

One - touch wiper

For a single wiping cycle, push the lever
upward and release it with the lever in the
OFF position.
The wipers will operate continuously if
the lever is pushed upward and held.

✽

✽ NOTICE

• To prevent possible damage to the

wipers or windshield, do not operate

the wipers when the windshield is dry.

• To prevent damage to the wiper

blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene,

paint thinner, or other solvents on or

near them.

• To prevent damage to the wiper arms

and other components, do not attempt

to move the wipers manually.

Windshield washers

In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 2-3
cycles.
Use this function when the windshield is
dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will con-
tinue until you release the lever.

If the washer does not work, check the
washer fluid level. If the fluid level is not
sufficient, you will need to add appropri-
ate non-abrasive windshield washer fluid
to the washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in the
front of the engine compartment on the
passenger side.

✽

✽ NOTICE

To prevent possible damage to the wash-

er pump, do not operate the washer

when the fluid reservoir is empty.
