WINDSHIELD WASHER

• Insufficient driver visibility may lead to a collision and result in injury, damage to your vehicle, or other property damage.
• Do not spray washer fluid onto the windshield in freezing weather.
• Warm up the windshield before operating the washer.

Washer fluid may freeze on the windshield and impair forward visibility.

To spray washer fluid onto the windshield, perform the following steps:

• Switch the ignition on.
• Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward you.

If the lever is held for less than 0.6 seconds, the following occurs:

• Washer fluid is sprayed onto the windshield. (The wiper blades do not operate.) If the lever is held for more than 0.6 seconds, the following occurs:
• Washer fluid is sprayed onto the windshield.
• The wiper blades operate three cycles or stop when the lever is released.

• Do not operate the windshield washer continuously for more than 10 seconds, and do not operate it with an empty washer reservoir.

This may cause the washer motor to overheat and result in costly repairs.
