1. Move the wiper speed control
switch to In OFF (O) position.
2. Pull the lever gently toward you
to spray washer fluid on the
windscreen and to run the wipers
1-3 cycles. Use this function
when the windscreen is dirty. The
spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the
lever.
If the washer does not work, check
the washer fluid level. If the fluid
level is not sufficient, you will need
to add appropriate non-abrasive
windscreen washer fluid to the
washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compart -
ment on the driver side.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
4 136
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
WARNING
Do not use the washer in freezing
temperatures without first warming
the windscreen with the defrosters;
the washer solution could freeze on
the windscreen and obscure your
vision.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to
the wipers or windscreen, do not
operate the wipers when the
windscreen is dry.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol, kero -
sene, paint thinner, or other sol -
vents on or near them.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
To prevent possible damage to
the wipers and washer system,
use anti-freezing washer fluids in
the winter season or cold
weather.
