CHECKING WASHER FLUID LEVEL
Check fluid level in the washer fluid reser-
voir and add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is
not available. However, use washer solu-
tion in cold climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING!
Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir. Radiator coolant can
severely affect visibility when
sprayed on the windshield and
may cause damage to paint and
body trim.

Replace the element according to the
Scheduled Maintenance.
NOTE
If the vehicle is operated in extremely dusty
or sandy areas, replace this element more
often than at the usual recommended inter-
vals.
CAUTION
Do not drive with the air cleaner removed;
this will result in excessive engine wear.
Driving without an air cleaner encourages
backfiring, which could cause a fire in the
engine compartment.

Wiper Blades
WIPER BLADE MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
affect the cleanabillty of the
windshield.
Contamination of either the windshield or
wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the windshield
wiper. Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treat-
ments used by some commercial car
washes. If the blades are not wiping prop-
erly, clean both the windshield and the
blades with a good cleaner or mild deter-
gent and rinse thoroughly with clear water.
Repeat if necessary.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to wiper blades, do
not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thin-
ner, or other solvent on or near them.
