Windshield Washers

~1min read

In the OFF (O) position, pull the lever toward you carefully to spray washer fluid onto the windshield and operate the wipers for 1-3 cycles.

The washer and wiper will continue to operate until you release the lever.

If the washer does not operate, it may be necessary to add washer fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.

With Headlight Washer

Washer fluid will be sprayed onto the headlight while the windshield washer operates when:

1. The ignition switch is in the ON position.

2. The light switch is in the headlight position.

WARNING

When the outside air temperature is below freezing, ALWAYS warm up the windshield before using the washer to prevent the washer fluid from freezing on the windshield and blocking your view, which may result in an accident and serious injury or death.

CAUTION

  • To prevent possible damage to the washer pump, do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
  • To prevent possible damage to the wiper blades or windshield, do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
  • To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not attempt to move the wipers by hand.
  • To prevent possible damage to the wiper and washer system, use washer fluid antifreeze in winter or in cold weather.
