Windshield Washer - Buick 2004 Rendezvous Owner's Manual

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 are 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 wipers. A
circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Windshield Washer

L : To wash your windshield, push and hold the
paddle with the windshield washer symbol. The washers
and wipers will operate. When you release the paddle,
the washers will stop, and the wipers will continue
to operate for two cycles, unless your wipers were
already on. In that case, the wipers will resume the wiper
speed you selected earlier.
CAUTION:
{
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
