Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry.
The windshield will get scratched, or the rubber
blades will get damaged.
Turn the washers off if no washer fluid comes out.
The pump may get damaged.
The wiper motor may stop motor operation
temporarily to prevent an overload. Wiper operation

windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage
the wipers. Use the defroster and heated windshield

If the wipers stop operating due to an obstacle such
as the build-up of snow, park the vehicle in a safe
place as soon as possible.
