Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
E00507601516
l If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other
deposits on the glass, the wipers may
temporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, and
then remove the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af-
ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and
the blades wear out prematurely.
l
Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may burn
out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
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.
