Windscreen Wipers
To turn the windscreen wipers on, move the
lever down to one of the three operating
positions. In the "INT position (if equipped),
the wipers operate intermittently. The "INT'
position is very convenient for driving in mist
or light rain. In the "LO" position, the wipers
operate at a steady low speed. In the "HI"
position, the wipers operate at a steady high
speed. To turn off the wipers, move the lever
back to the "OFF position.
60G-04-008E
If the lever is equipped with "INT TIME" control,
turn the control toward the "SLOW" or "FAST'
positions to adjust the intermittent wiper
operation to the desired interval.
60G-04-011E
The operation of windscreen wiper and washer
Type-2 is same as Type-1.
60G-04-009E
Windscreen Washer
To spray windscreen washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windscreen wipers will
automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and the "INT" position
is equipped.
To prevent windscreen icing in cold
weather, turn on the defroster to heat
the windscreen before and during
windscreen washer use.
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the
windscreen washer reservoir. It can
severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windscreen, and can
also damage your vehicle's paint.

CAUTION
To help prevent damage to the
windscreen wiper and washer system
components, you should take the
following precautions:
• Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windscreen washer
fluid being sprayed or the washer
motor can be damaged.
• Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windscreen with the wipers or
you can damage the windscreen and
the wiper blades. Always wet the
windscreen with washer fluid before
operating the wipers.
• Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the
wipers.
• Check the washer fluid level
regularly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
• Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the
temperature falls low enough to
freeze the solution.

DRIVING TIPS AND SAFE DRIVING
72F-08-018
72F-08-019
Long distance driving
1. Be sure to perform safety checks before
starting a trip.
2. Take rest at certain intervals to prevent
an accident which may occur when you
are sleepy or tired.
72F-08-020
Night time driving
1. Drive more slowly at night than in the
daytime, for the visual range is restricted
at night.

DRIVING TIPS AND SAFE DRIVING

2. Don't overtake other vehicles at night.
Darkness bothers your sense of speed
and hinders your judgement on the car-
to-car distance.
3. Don't use the high headlight beam unless
its use is inevitable. Its dazzle may blitz
the driver of the oncoming vehicle, thus
causing an accident.
4. Always keep the window glasses clean.
Don't operate the windshield wiper when
the windshield glass is dry or the wiper
blade and glass may get damaged.

MARGIN FOR SAFETY
It is important to allow yourself a margin for
safety during driving so that you can cope with
erroneous or unexpected driving of other
drivers. For that, observe the following.
• Drive at a safe speed.
• Maintain a sufficient distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
• Don't force yourself to overtake other
vehicles.
• Don't make quick start, hard steering or
sudden stops.
• Allow an ample time in the driving
schedule.
• Observe traffic rules and regulations.
CONCLUSION
A perfect driver does not exist. The endeavour
of every motorist should be to strive for
perfection. Safety consciousness not only
ensures your safety and the safety of other
road users, it also helps reduce the wear and
tear on your vehicle, prolongs its life, gives
more mileage and ensures a comfortable
driving experience.
Follow the do's and don'ts listed, and
driving will never be the same again.

When installing the cover, make sure that it is
positioned so that it does not cover or foul the
air valve.
60G-09-038
Batteries produce flammable hydrogen
gas. Keep flames and sparks away from
the battery or an explosion may occur.
Never smoke when working in the
vicinity of the battery .
When checking or servicing the battery,
disconnect the negative cable. Be
careful not to cause a short circuit by
allowing metal objects to contact the
battery posts and the vehicle at the
same time.
To avoid harm to yourself or damage
to your vehicle or battery, follow the
jump starting instructions in the
EMERGENCY SERVICE section of this
manual if it is necessary to jump start
your vehicle.
The level of the battery solution must be kept
between the "UPPER" and the "LOWER" level
lines at all times. If the level is found to be
below the "LOWER" level line, add distilled
water to the "UPPER" level line. You should
periodically check the battery, battery
terminals, and battery holddown bracket for
corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff
brush and ammonia mixed with water, or
baking soda mixed with water. After removing
corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for a
month or longer, disconnect the cable from
the negative terminal of the battery to help
prevent discharge.
