Windshield Washers

~1min read

In the OFF position, pull the lever toward you carefully to spray washer fluid onto the windshield and operate the wipers for 1 to 3 cycles. Washer spray and wiper operation will continue as long as the lever is held. If the washer does not operate, you may need to add washer fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.

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.

NOTICE

  • To avoid possible damage to the washer pump, do not operate the washer when the washer 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 avoid damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not try to move the wipers by hand.
  • To avoid possible damage to the wipers and washer, use windshield washer fluid with antifreeze in winter or in cold weather.
