washer
Always keep windshield glass clean
to avoid any distortion in visibility.

condition of wiper blade. Ensure that
windshield washer reservoir is full. Do
not operate wiper alone when the

damage the windshield and wiper
blades.
Headlights
Keep headlight lenses clean. Check
for operation of headlamps in both high/
