• 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.
• Rotating the grip at the end of the lever activates
the windshield wipers in one of the following
three modes:
INT: Wipers operate intermittently. By operating
the interval control switch , the operating
interval of wipers can be varied between 3
and 12 seconds.
LO: Wipers operate at a slow speed.
HI: Wipers operate at a rapid speed.
MIST: The wipers operate once when you flip up
the lever toward you.
Replace the wiper blades if they start to work inef-
fectively. P. 12-80
CAUTION
Wiper blade rubber can deteriorate over time,
causing the wipers to work ineffectively and
possibly causing the windshield to be
scratched.
• Pressing the button sprays washer fluid onto the
windshield.
• Refill the washer fluid reservoir before it is
empty. P. 12-81
• If there is washer fluid in the reservoir but none
is sprayed when you operate the washer, the
nozzles may be blocked. Clean the nozzles
using a piece of thin wire. If fluid is still not
sprayed when you operate the washer, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer.
