✽ ✽ NOTICE
Before using the windshield wipers
when there is a heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield, defrost
the windshield for about 10 minutes, or
until the snow or ice is removed. This
will help ensure proper windshield
wiper operation and will prevent dam-
age to the wiper blades, wiper linkage,
and wiper motor.
