D

In freezing weather, be sure the wiper blades are not frozen to

the windshield or rear window before operating the wipers.

D

Do not operate the wipers if the wiper blades are frozen to the

windshield or rear window. If the wiper would be operated with
the wiper blades frozen to the windshield or rear window, the
wiper blades could be worn or damaged prematurely, resulting in
streaking or incomplete wiping. Be sure to use the defroster or
rear window defogger, if the wiper blades are frozen to the glass.

D

Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such

as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.

NOTE

D

The wiper operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or

“ACC” position.

D

Clean your wiper blades and windshield periodically with a wind-

shield washer solution to prevent streaking, and to remove accumula-
tions of road salt or road film. Keep the windshield washer button
depressed at least for 1 second so that washer solution will be sprinkled
all over the windshield or rear window.

D

Grease, wax, insects or other material on the windshield or the wiper

blade results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you
cannot remove those streaks after operating the windshield washer or if
the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield (or
rear window) and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a
neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the wind-
shield and wiper blades with clean water. The windshield is clean if
beads do not form when you rinse the windshield with water.

D

If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this method,

replace the wiper blades with new ones. Refer to the Wiper Blade
Replacement section (chapter 10) for replacement instructions.
