Windshield wiper and washer switch
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solution may freeze on the window and obscure your vision which may lead to an accident. Warm the window with the defroster before you wash the window.
CAUTION
● Do not operate the washer continuously
for more than 30 seconds.
● Do not operate the washer if the reservoir
tank is empty.
● Do not fill the window washer reservoir
with washer fluid concentrates at full
strength. Some methyl alcohol based
washer fluid concentrates may permanently
stain the grille if spilled while
filling the window washer reservoir.
● Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with
water to the manufacturer’s recommended
levels before pouring the fluid
into the window washer reservoir. Do
not use the window washer reservoir to
mix the washer fluid concentrate and
water.
If the windshield wiper operation is interrupted by snow or ice, the wiper may stop moving to protect its motor. If this occurs, turn the wiper switch to the OFF position and remove the snow or ice that is on and around the wiper arms. In approximately 1 minute, turn the switch on again to operate the wiper.
