65D611
Wiper and washer operationWhen the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is ON, you can use
the wiper/washer lever or switch (if
equipped).
When the wipers are under heavy load
such as covered by snow, the breaker will
be activated and the wipers will stop oper-
ating to protect the wiper motor from over-
heating.
If the wiper stops during operation, do the
following methods.
1) Stop the vehicle in a safe place, andturn the engine off.
2) Move the wiper lever and switch to “OFF” position.
3) Remove obstacles such as snow on the wipers.
4) After a while, when the temperature of
the wiper motor becomes low enough,
the breaker will be reset automatically
and the wipers will be able to use.
If you cannot use the wipers after a while,
there may be another problem. Ask your
SUZUKI dealer to have the wipers
inspected.

To turn the windshield wipers on, move the
lever down to one of the three operating
positions. In “INT” position, the wipers
operate intermittently. The “INT” position is
very convenient for driving in mist or light
rain. In “LO” position, the wipers operate at
a steady low speed. In “HI” position, the
wipers operate at a steady high speed. To
turn off the wipers, move the lever back to
“OFF” position.
Move the lever up and hold it to “MIST”
position, the windshield wipers will turn on
continuously at low speed.

If the lever is equipped with “INT TIME”
control, turn the control forward or back-
ward to adjust the int ermittent wiper opera-
tion to the desired interval.
Windshield washer

rearward to “OFF” position.
With the rear wiper in “OFF” position, twist
the switch rearward and hold it there to

To help prevent damage to the wind-
shield wiper and washer system
components, you should take the fol-
lowing precautions:
• Do not continue to hold in the leverwhen there is no windshield
washer fluid being sprayed or the
washer motor can be damaged.
• Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windshield with the wipers or
you can damage the windshield
and the wiper blades. Always wet
the windshield with washer fluid
before operating the wipers.
• Clear ice or packed snow from the wiper blades before using the wip-
ers.
• Check the washer fluid level regu- larly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
• Fill a reservoir 3/4 full with washer fluid to for its expansion, if tem-
perature falls low enough to freeze
the fluid.
