J Rear window wiper and washer switch
CAUTION
D In freezing weather, be sure the wiper blade is not frozen to the
rear window before operating the rear wiper. Attempting to oper-
ate the wiper while the blade is frozen to the rear window could
cause the wiper motor to burn out. If the wiper blade is frozen to
the rear window, turn on the rear window defogger and wait to
melt the frozen wiper blade from the rear window before operat-
ing the rear wiper.
D If the wiper stops during operation because of ice or some oth-
er obstruction on the rear window, the wiper motor could burn
out even if the wiper switch is turned off. If this occurs, promptly
stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position and clean the rear window to allow proper wiper
operation.
D To prevent the washer motor from overheating, avoid operat-
ing the washer switch for more than 10 seconds continuously, or
when the washer fluid tank is empty. Check washer fluid level fre-
quently, such as at fuel stops.
D Use clean water if windshield washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in winter, use SUBARU Windshield
Washer Fluid or the equivalent. (See Windshield Washer Fluid
section in chapter 10.)
Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing tempera-
tures, use non-freezing type wiper blades.
