Note: Fully defrost the windshield in icy conditions before turning on
the windshield wipers.
Note: Make sure the windshield wipers are switched off before entering
a car wash.
Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades if they begin to leave
streaks or smears. If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper
blades.
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch
the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out.
Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield.
