For a single sweep of the windshield, push
the lever up and release it.
To squirt washer fluid, push the button
at the end of the lever (type A) or, pull
the lever toward you and release it
(type B).
For instructions on adding washer fluid,
see “Adding washer fluid” in Chapter 7-3.
In freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before using the wash-
er. This will help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing on your windshield, which
could block your vision.
NOTICE
Do not operate the wipers if the
windshield is dry. It may scratch the
glass.
To defog or defrost the rear window,
push the switch.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window will quickly clear the surface.
An indicator light will illuminate to indicate
the defogger is operating.
Push the switch once again to turn the de-
fogger off.
With timer: The system will automatically
shut off after the defogger has operated
about 15 minutes.
Make sure you turn the defogger off when
the window is clear. Leaving the defogger
on for a long time could cause the battery
to discharge, especially during stop-and-
go driving. The defogger is not designed
for drying rain water or for melting snow.
NOTICE
Without timer: To prevent the bat-
tery from being discharged, turn
the switch on when the engine is
running.
When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, be careful not to
scratch or damage the heater
wires.
