WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you
switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers and vehicle power off before using
an automatic car wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 298). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Wiper Blades (page 298).
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Always use the windshield
washers before wiping a dry windshield.
Note: When wiping on dry glass, the wipers
may switch to the next lower operating mode
(low-speed or intermittent). The previous
operation mode may resume after the
windshield becomes wet again.
