Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
EE13C-L
(1) If the moving wipers become blocked by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
motor may burn out even if the wiper
switch is turned to OFF. If obstruction
occurs, park your vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the ignition and clean the
deposits from the glass so that the
wipers operate smoothly.
(2) Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry. They may scratch the glass surface
or the blades may prematurely wear
out.
(3) Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not
frozen onto the glass. The motor may
burn out if the wipers are used with the
blades frozen onto the glass.
(4) Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate
the washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
Otherwise, pump failure will occur.
(5) Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recom-
mended 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
components.
(6) If the washer is used in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed against the glass
may freeze resulting in poor visibility.
Heat the glass with the defroster or de-
mister before using the washer.

Use the hazard warning flasher switch when
the vehicle has to be parked on the road for

ignition key.
Push the switch to turn on the hazard warn-
ing flashers; push the switch again to turn
them off.
When this switch is operated, all turn-signal
lamps flash continuously, as do the turn-sig-
nal indication lamps in the instrument cluster.
