If you fill the windshield washer tank with
a fluid with a different concentration from
the one used previously, purge the old
fluid from the piping between the wind-
shield washer tank and washer nozzles by
operating the washer for a certain period
of time. Otherwise, if the concentration of
the fluid remaining in the piping is too low
for the outside temperature, it may freeze
and block the nozzles.
11-24. Replacement of Wiper BladesGrease, wax, insects, or other material on
the windshield or the wiper blade results in
jerky wiper operation and streaking on the
glass. If you cannot remove the streaks
after operating the windshield washer or if
the wiper operation is jerky, clean the
outer surface of the windshield using a
sponge or soft cloth with a neutral deter-
gent or mild-abrasive cleaner. Do not,
however, use detergent to clean the blade
rubbers. Use only a sponge or soft cloth
(and no neutral deterge nt or mild abrasive
cleaner) when you clean the blade
rubbers. If you wipe the rubber of the
blade strongly, the black coating compo-
nent will peel off, which will cause the
wiper to judder. Also, after wiping it off,
check that the rubber has not come loose.
After cleaning the window glass and wiper
blade rubbers, be sure to rinse them with
clean water. Rinse the window until the
water does not form beads on the glass.
This indicates that the glass is clean.
CAUTION
Never use engine coolant as washer
fluid because it could cause paint
damage.
CAUTION
 Adjust the washer fluid concen-
tration appropriately for the
outside temperature. If the
concentration is inappropriate,
sprayed washer fluid may freeze
on the windshield and obstruct
your view, and the fluid may
freeze in the windshield washer
tank. Be careful foreign matter does
not contaminate the washer fluid
when filling the tank. Contamina-
tion could cause malfunctions,
such as clogging the pump.
 State or local regulations on vola-
tile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol, a
common windshield washer anti-
freeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol anti-
freeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging
your vehicle’s paint, wiper blades
or washer system.
CAUTION
 Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.

If you cannot eliminate the streaking even
after following this method, replace the
wiper blades using the following proce-
dures.■ Windshield Wiper Blade
AssemblyNOTEDo not lower the wi per arm while the
wiper blade assembly is removed.
1. Raise the wiper arm off the windshield.
First raise the driver’s side wiper arm and
then raise the front passenger’s side wiper
arm.
1) Lock cover2. Hold the wiper blade connection by
hand, open the lock cover to release the
lock.
 When you wish to raise the
passenger-side wiper arm, first
raise the driver-side wiper arm.
Otherwise, the passenger-side
wiper assembly and driver-side
wiper assembly will touch each
other, possibly resulting in
scratches. Return the passenger-side wiper
arm to its original position before
returning the dr iver-side wiper
arm to its original position. Other-
wise, the passenger-side wiper
assembly and driver-side wiper
assembly will touch each other,
possibly resulting in scratches. When returning the raised wipers
to the original positions, return
the wipers slowly on the wind-
shield by hand. Returning the
wipers from the detached posi-
tions by the spring operation
might change the shape of the
wiper arm or scratch the wind-
shield. While removing the wiper blades
from the wiper arms, do not
return the wiper ar ms to the orig-
inal positions. Otherwise, the
windshield surface may be
scratched.

WARNING
 Before beginning work on or near
any battery, be sure to extinguish
all cigarettes, matches, and
lighters. Never expose a battery
to an open flame or electric
sparks. Batteries give off a gas
which is highly flammable and
explosive. For safety, in case an explosion
does occur, wear eye protection
or shield your eyes when working
near any battery. Never lean over
a battery. Do not let battery fluid contact
eyes, skin, fabrics, or paint
because battery fluid is a corro-
sive acid. If battery fluid gets on
your skin or in your eyes, immedi-
ately flush the area with water
thoroughly. Seek medical help
immediately if acid has entered
the eyes.
If battery fluid is accidentally
swallowed, immediately drink a
large amount of milk or water,
and seek medical attention
immediately.
