l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate
the washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re-
quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen-
ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function
and frost damage to the system compo-
nents.
