Rear Window Wiper and Washer
Some visors have
mirrors with lights. If
the mirror has lights,
they will come on
when
you lift the
mirror cover.
The rear window wipedwasher switch
is on your instrument
panel, to
the passenger
side
of the gage
cluster.
To turn the wiper
on, slide the switch all the way up.
For delay wiping, slide the switch even with
DELAY in the center position
of the rear wiper control. The wiper will cycle every nine seconds.
To wash the window, push in on the switch. Window washer fluid will
continue to spray until the switch is released. The wiper will continue with
three more wipes and then return
to the setting that was chosen before the
lever was pushed.
The rear window washer uses
the same fluid bottle as the front windshield
washer.
If the fluid level is low in the washer fluid bottle, you may not be
able to wash your rear window.
If you can wash your windshield, but not
your rear window, check the fluid level.

Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427)
or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and
dust films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners
on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since
they may have to be
scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on
the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
Cleaning the Outside of the Windshield,
Backglass and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the
blade
or windshield.
Clean the outside
of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami
Powder@
(GM Part No. 10500 I 1 ). The windshield is clean if beads do not
form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked
in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better, and
not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth
at least every
six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent application may
be required. (See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
in the Index.)
Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss
retention and durability.
