4. WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE
When installing a wiper motor, arm or blade,
follow recommended procedures to prevent
misalignment, binding
or malfunction. Check
the windshield washer liquid hoses, fittings
and connectors to be sure they are properly
connected and seal with no restriction to the
flow of washer liquid. Check that wiper arms
have the proper sweep position and the
washer nozzles
are aimed so that spray is
within the proper wiper pattern.
Push the control button (Figure 3) to activate the
windshield washer. Turn the button to activate
the wipers. The first position activates the wipers
intermittently. The second position is the slow
speed and the third position is for high speed
wiping.

pumps the washer liquid to the spray nozzles
where it is dispersed across the windshield.
4.2 WIPER MECHANISM
The windshield wipers are controlled by one
electric wiper motor that is accessible for
maintenance after removing the appropriate
access panel beside the footwell.
