Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry.
The windshield will get sc ratched, or the rubber
blades will get damaged.

windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in th is condition may damage
them. Use the defroster to warm the windshield,
then turn the wipers on.

shortest delay setting and the LO setting become
the same.
Turn the washers off if no washer fluid comes out.
The pump may get damaged.
The wiper motor may stop motor operation
temporarily to prevent an overload. Wiper operation
will return to normal within a few minutes, once the
circuit has returned to normal.
