Intermittent wiper
IMPORTANT To help prevent damage to
the windshield wiper and washer system
components, you should take the follow-
ing precautions:
❒Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windshield washer flu-
id being sprayed or the washer motor
can be damaged.
❒Do not attempt to remove dirt from a
dry windshield with the wipers or you
can damage the windshield and the
wiper blades. Always wet the wind-
shield with washer fluid before oper-
ating the wipers.
❒Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the wipers.
❒Check the washer fluid level regularly.
Check it often when the weather is bad.
❒Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the temperature
falls low enough to freeze the solution.
