WINDSCREEN WIPER AND
WASHER LEVER
Windscreen Washer
To spray windscreen washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you.
• Do not use radiator antifreeze in the
windscreen washer reservoir. It can
severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windscreen, and can
also damage your vehicle’s paint.
Windscreen Wipers
To turn the windscreen wipers on, twist the
knob on the end of the lever to one of the
three operating positions. In the “LO”
position, the wipers operate at a steady low
speed. In the “HI” position, the wipers
operate at a steady high speed. To turn off
the wipers, move the lever back to the
“OFF” position.

To help prevent damage to the
windscreen wiper and washer system
components, you should take the
following precautions:
• Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windscreen washer
fluid being sprayed or the washer
motor can be damaged.
• Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windscreen with the wipers or
you can damage the windscreen and
the wiper blades. Always wet the
windscreen with washer fluid before
operating the wipers.
• Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the
wipers.
• Check the washer fluid level
regularly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
• Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the
temperature falls low enough to
freeze the solution.
