N00523200264
The rear window wiper and washer can be operated when the
ignition key is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
Turn the knob to operate the rear window wiper.
NOTE
To ensure a clear rearward view, the wiper performs a
number of continuous operations either when the switch is
moved to the “INT” position or when the gearshift lever
(manual transmission) or the selector lever (automatic
transmission) is moved to the “R” (REVERSE) position
while the switch is in the “INT” position.
Following this continuous operation, the wiper will auto-
matically switch to intermittent operation.

The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment.
Check the fluid level regularly and refill if necessary. (See
“Washer fluid” on page 7-14.)Precautions to observe when using wipers and

could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prema-
turely.

Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure
that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or
rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen
could cause the wiper motor to burn out.
