Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
Use plain water if fluid is unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold
weather to prevent it from freezing.

washer fluid is dangerous. If
sprayed on the windshield, it will
dirty the windshield, affect your
visibility, and could result in an
accident. Use only windshield
washer fluid or plain water in the
reservoir.
083-26AE
 Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks,

 Maintaining Wiper Blades
CAUTION
!
Hot waxes applied by automatic
car washes have been known to
affect the cleanability of windows.Contamination of either the windshield
or the blades with foreign matter can
reduce wiper effectiveness. Common
sources are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a
good cleaner or mild detergent; then
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat if necessary.
CAUTION
!
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, don’
t use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.

Handling Halogen Bulbs:When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurized gas. If one is broken,
it will explode and serious injuries
could be caused by the flying
glass. If the glass portion is
touched with bare hands, body oil
could cause the bulb to overheat
and explode when lit. Never touch
the glass portion of the bulb with
your bare hands and always wear
eye protection when handling or
working around halogen bulbs.
WARNING
!
Children and Halogen Bulbs:Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could

bulb or breaking it some other
way. Always keep halogen bulbs
out of the reach of children.

normally operated in the United States,
its territories, and Canada.
