Windshield washers
To use the windshield washer, pull the lever gently toward you in the OFF position.
- Type A, Type C: The washer fluid will spray on the windshield and the wipers will operate 1~3 cycles.
- Type B: The washer fluid will spray on the windshield but the wipers will not operate.
Use this function when the windshield is dirty.
The spray operation will continue until you release the lever.
If the washer does not work, check the washer fluid level. If the fluid level is not suffi-
cient, you will need to add appropriate non-abrasive windshield washer fluid to the
washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in the front of the engine compartment on the pas-
senger side.

To prevent possible damage to the wipers or windshield, do notoperate the wipers when thewindshield is dry.
To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline,kerosene, paint thinner, or othersolvents on or near them.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, donot attempt to move the wipersmanually.

temperatures without first warming
the windshield with the defrosters;
the washer solution could freeze on
contact with the windshield and
obscure your vision.

WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
✽
✽NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield or
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield wipers. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water.Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
1JBA5122CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,kerosene, paint thinner, or othersolvents on or near them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperarms or other components, do notattempt to move the wipers manual- ly.

The use of a non-specified wiperblade could result in wiper malfunc- tion and failure.
