REAR WIPER OPERATION
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the windshield-
washer fluid may freeze on the rear win-
dow glass and obscure your vision. Warm
the rear window with the defroster before
you wash the rear window.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the washer continu-
ously for more than 30 seconds.
• Do not operate the washer if the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir is
empty.
• Do not fill the windshield-washer fluid
reservoir with windshield-washer fluid
concentrates at full strength. Some
methyl alcohol based windshield-
washer fluid concentrates may perma-
nently stain the grille if spilled while
filling the windshield-washer fluid res-
ervoir.
• Pre-mix windshield-washer fluid con-
centrates with water to the manufac-
turer’s recommended levels before
pouring the fluid into the windshield-
washer fluid reservoir. Do not use the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir to
mix the windshield-washer fluid con-
centrate and water.
If the rear window wiper operation is inter-
rupted by snow etc., the wiper may stop
moving to protect its motor. If this occurs,
turn the wiper switch to the OFF position
and remove the snow etc. on and around
the wiper arms. After about 1 minute, turn
the switch ON again to operate the wiper.
The rear window wiper and washer operate when
the power switch is in the ON position.
Turn the switch clockwise from the OFF position
to operate the wiper.
