When the operative wipers suddenly
stop
When the wipers are under heavy load
such as covered by snow and the tem-
perature of the wiper motor becomes high,
the breaker will be activated and the wip-
ers will temporarily stop to protect the
wiper motor from overheating.
If this happens, perform the following oper-
ations:
1) Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
press the engine switch to change the
ignition mode to ACC or LOCK (OFF).
2) Move the wiper lever and switch to
“OFF” position.
3) Remove obstacles such as snow on the
wipers.
4) After a while, when the temperature of
the wiper motor becomes low enough,
the breaker will be reset automatically
and you can use the wipers.
If you cannot use the wipers after a while,
there may be another problem. Ask a
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the wipers inspected.
WARNING
To avoid possible injury, do not oper-
ate controls by reaching through the
steering wheel.
CAUTION
In cold weather, the sprayed washer
fluid on the glass may get frozen and
it may cause poor visibility to a
driver. Use the defroster to warm the
glass and spray the washer fluid.
Refer to “Manual air conditioning
system (with digital control panel)”
(P.7-18) or “Automatic heating and air
conditioning system (climate con-
trol)” (P.7-25).
NOTICE
• If you use the wipers with the glass
dried, the glass and the wiper blade
rubbers may be damaged. When
the glass is dry, use the washer
fluid and then use wipers.
• If you operate the wipers with the
wiper blades stuck on the glass,
the wiper blade rubbers may be
damaged or the wipers may be bro-
ken. When the wiper blades are
stuck on the glass, do not operate
the wipers.
• If you use the washer when the
washer fluid cannot be sprayed
enough, the washer pump may be
broken. When the washer fluid can-
not be sprayed enough, turn off the
washer switch.
