Features of your vehicle Wipers and washers
If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield,
defrost the windshield for about 10
minutes, or until the snow and/or
ice is removed before using the
windshield wipers to ensure proper
operation. If you do not remove the
snow and/or ice before using the
wiper and washer, it may damage
the wiper and washer system.
Operating windshield washer
Use this function when the wind
-
shield is dirty.
1. Move the wiper speed control
switch to the OFF posi
tion.
2. Pull the lever gently toward you
to s
pray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers
1-3 cycles.
The spray and wiper operation
w
i
ll continue 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 appropriate non-abrasive
windshield washer fluid to the
washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the motor c
ompart
-
ment on the passenger side.
Washer pump
To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
Obscured visibility
Do not use the washer in freezing
temperatures without first warming
the windshield with the defrosters;
the washer solution could freeze on
the windshield and obscure your
vision.
