Windscreen washers
(if equipped)
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windscreen and to run
the wipers 1-3 cycles.
CAUTION
When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch in the OFF
position to stop the auto wiper
operation.
The wiper may operate and be
damaged if the switch is set in

Use this function when the wind-
screen is dirty.
The spray and wiper 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 sufficient, you will need to add
appropriate non-abrasive wind-
screen washer fluid to the washer
reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment
on the driver side.Headlight washer (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the
headlight washer it will operate at the
same time when you operate the
windshield washer. It will operate
when the headlight low beam is
turned on and the ignition switch or
engine start/stop button is in the ON
position.
The washer fluid will be sprayed on
to the headlights.
✽NOTICE
• Check the headlight washers peri-
odically to confirm that the wash-
er fluid is being sprayed properly
onto the headlight lenses.
• The headlight washer can be oper-
ated 15 minutes after being oper-
ated last time.
CAUTION
• To prevent possible damage
to the wipers or windscreen,
do not operate the wipers
when the windscreen is dry.
• To prevent damage to the
wiper blades, do not use
petrol, kerosene, paint thinner,
or other solvents on or near
them.
• To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
• To prevent possible damage
to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to
the washer pump, do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.
WARNING
Do not use the washer in freez-
ing temperatures without first
warming the windscreen with
the defrosters; the washer solu-
tion could freeze on the wind-
screen and obscure your
vision.

Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
• Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head-
lights.• Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed on vehicles not
equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature. Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the head-
lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
• A heavy rainfall will make it harder
to see and will increase the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
• Keep your windscreen wiping
equipment in good shape. Replace
your windscreen wiper blades
when they show signs of streaking
or missing areas on the wind-
screen.

WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
✽NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windscreen diffi-
cult to clean.
Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified
wiper blade could result in
wiper malfunction and failure.
