2 Automatic windshield washer/
Headlamp washers
Automatic windshield washer and head-
lamp washers are activated. Every time
they are actuated, both the windshield
and the headlamps are cleaned.
Do not use the washers if there
is any danger that the fluid will
freeze on the windshield. If you do so,
your vision could be obscured. Use an
antifreeze agent. Refer to page
108 .
Do not use the washers when the reser-
voir is empty. If you do so, the washer
pump could be damaged.

Windshield washer jets
The windshield washer jets are warmed
automatically when the ignition key is in
position 2.
To activate
Once the hardtop is in place, press the
button: as long as the indicator lamp
remains on, the rear window defroster
continues at high output (rapid thaw).
After the indicator lamp goes out, the
defroster continues operating at re-
duced power for a limited period before
deactivating automatically.
To deactivate
If the indicator lamp is still on, press the
button.
The indicator lamp is always
active. The rear window defroster
will not work if the hardtop is not in
place.
