l
Before using
the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen on-
to the glass. The motor may burn out if the

washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer reservoir. Failure to do so could re-
sult in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components. Wiper de-icer switch*
