Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent
you from seeing well enough
to
drive safely.
To
avoid
damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them.
If
they’re frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them.
If
your blades
do
become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor.
A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
When you release the button, the washers will stop, but
the wipers will either stop or will resume the delay you
were using before.
To wash your windshield, push in the button at the end
of the stalk until the washers begin.
