WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND
WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are
located on the windshield wiper/washer lever
on the right side of the steering column. The
front wipers are operated by rotating a
switch, located on the end of the lever. For
information on the rear wiper/washer, refer to
“Rear Window Wiper/Washer” in this
section.Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever
Windshield Wiper Operation

Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first
four detent positions for intermittent settings,
the fifth detent for low wiper operation and the
sixth detent for high wiper operation.
Windshield Wiper Operation
NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with
the blades lifted from the windshield. Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the lever rearward toward you and hold
for as long as spray is desired.
Mist

Use the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers necessary.
Push the lever upward to the MIST position and
release for a single wiping cycle.

NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
CAUTION!

Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the PARK position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the PARK position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.

Cooling System
Engine Coolant Checks
Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protec-
tion every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the
engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty, the
system should be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming
to MS.90032) by an authorized dealer.
Check the front of the A/C condenser for any
accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty,
clean by gently spraying water from a garden
hose vertically down the face of the
condenser.
Check the engine cooling system hoses for
brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and
tightness of the connection at the coolant
recovery bottle and radiator. Inspect the
entire system for leaks. DO NOT REMOVE
THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE
COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield and rear window washers
share the same fluid reservoir. The fluid
reservoir is located in the front of the engine
compartment. Be sure to check the fluid
level in the reservoir at regular intervals. Fill
the reservoir with windshield washer solvent
(not radiator antifreeze) and operate the
system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir,
take some washer fluid and apply it to a cloth
or towel and wipe clean the wiper blades,
this will help blade performance.To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer system in cold weather, select a solu
-
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most
washer fluid containers.
Brake System
In order to ensure brake system perfor -
mance, all brake system components should
be inspected periodically. Refer to the
“Maintenance Plan” in this section for the
proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear
steam coming from under the hood, do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had time to cool. Never open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite
and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer
solution.
CAUTION!
Do not travel with the windshield washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windshield
washer is essential for improving visibility.

DEALER SERVICE
An authorized dealer has the qualified
service personnel, special tools, and equip-
ment to perform all service operations in an
expert manner. Service Manuals are avail -
able which include detailed service informa -
tion for your vehicle. Refer to these Service
Manuals before attempting any procedure
yourself.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems may void your warranty and could
result in civil penalties being assessed
against you.
Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades
and the windshield periodically with a
sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive
cleaner. This will remove accumulations of
salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost
or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade
rubber out of contact with petroleum prod -
ucts such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on geographical areas and
frequency of use. Poor performance of
blades may be present with chattering,
marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace as necessary.
CAUTION!
It is essential when replacing the cables
on the battery that the positive cable is
attached to the positive post and the
negative cable is attached to the nega-
tive post. Battery posts are marked posi -
tive (+) and negative (-) and are
identified on the battery case. Cable
clamps should be tight on the terminal
posts and free of corrosion.
If a “fast charger” is used while the
battery is in the vehicle, disconnect both
vehicle battery cables before connecting
the charger to the battery. Do not use a
“fast charger” to provide starting
voltage.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the engine compartment with a
high pressure washer is not recommended.
Precautions have been taken to safeguard
all parts and connections however, the
pressures generated by these machines is
such that complete protection against
water ingress cannot be guaranteed.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Only do service
work for which you have the knowledge
and the proper equipment. If you have any
doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a
competent mechanic.
