Windshield washers (front)

In the O (Off) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer flu‐
id on the windshield and to run the wip‐
ers 1-3 cycles.
Use this function when the windshield
is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will con‐
tinue 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 ap‐
propriate non-abrasive
washer fluid to the washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment
on the passenger side.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
WARNING
Do not use the washer in freezing
temperatures without first warming
the windshield with the defrosters;
the washer solution could freeze on
the windshield and obscure your vi‐
sion.
CAUTION
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers or windshield, do not oper‐
ate the wipers when the wind‐
shield is dry.
• To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline, kero‐
sene, paint thinner, or other sol‐
windshield
vents on or near them.
