they may operate unexpectedly
and car wash brushes could
become tangled around them.
NOTE
.
The windshield wiper motor is pro-
tected against overloads by a circuit
breaker. If the motor operates continu-
ously under an unusually heavy load,
the circuit breaker may trip to stop the
motor temporarily. If this happens, park
your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the
wiper switch, and wait for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. The circuit breaker
will reset itself, and the wipers will
again operate normally.
.
Clean your wiper blades and win-
dow glass periodically with a washer
solution to prevent streaking, and to
remove accumulations of road salt or
road film. Operate the windshield
washer for at least 1 second so that
washer solution will be sprinkled all
over the windshield or rear window.
.
Grease, wax, insects or other mate-
rial 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 washer or if the wiper
operation is jerky, clean the outer sur-
face 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 window glass and wiper
blades with clean water. The glass is
clean if no beads form on the glass
when you rinse with water.
.
If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after following this procedure,
replace the wiper blades with new
ones. For replacement instructions,
refer to

NOTE
For models with automatic rain sensing
windshield wipers:
.
When the wiper switch is turned to
the
“
AUTO
”
position while the ignition
switch is in the
“
ON
”
position, the
wipers will operate once. This indicates
that the wiper switch is in the
“
AUTO
”
position.
.
When the wiper switch is in the
“
AUTO
”
position, the following situa-
tions may occur.
–
The wipers may operate if the
rain light sensor or the windshield
is vibrated or objects such as,
insects, dirt, mud, etc. are covering
them. Turn off the wiper unless it is
raining or snowing.
–
The wipers do not operate if the
rain light sensor does not detect
rain or snow. If necessary, push the
wiper control lever down to the low
speed position or high speed posi-
tion.
–
The wipers may not operate
properly if the rain light sensor
does not detect the amount of rain-
drops because of the water-repel-
lent coating on the windshield, or
dirt or ice on the upper half of the
windshield.
–
The rain light sensor may be
malfunctioning if the wiper intermit-
tent operation does not vary de-
pending on the amount of rainfall. If
necessary, turn the wiper switch to
any position except for the
“
AUTO
”
position. We recommend that you
contact your SUBARU dealer and
have the system inspected as soon
as possible.
