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.
• 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 at 3 to 5 sec-
ond intervals.
LO: Wipers operate at a slow speed.
HI: Wipers operate at a rapid speed.
Replace the wiper blades if they start to work inef-
fectively. P. 12-63
CAUTION
Wiper blade rubber can deteriorate over time,
causing the wipers to work ineffectively and
possibly causing the windshield to be
scratched.
• To activate the windshield washer, pull the lever
front.
• Refill the washer fluid reservoir before it is
empty. P. 12-64
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.
