6 Wiper and washer switch
CAUTION
• Operating the wipers when the windshield is
dry damages the windshield glass. If the
glass is dry, be sure to squirt it with washer
fluid before operating the wipers.
• Check nearby conditions before operating
the washer switch. Washer fluid may splash
around in some circumstances.
• Do not operate the wipers when the rubber
parts of the wiper blades are frozen onto the
windshield or otherwise stuck to the wind-
shield. The wiper blades could get damaged,
and the wiper motor could fail.
• When the wipers are not used for a long
time, dust, sand, and other substances can
collect between the wiper blades and wind-
shield. Clean the wipers before using them.
Otherwise, the windshield may get
scratched.
• Operating the washer continuously for more
than 20 seconds or when there is no fluid in
the reservoir could burn out the washer
motor.
WARNING
In cold weather, warm the windshield with the
heater before operating the washer since
washer fluid could otherwise freeze onto the
windshield and obstruct your vision.
