Windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 1-3
cycles.
Use this function when the windshield is
dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will con-
tinue until you release the lever. If the
washer does not work, check the washer
fluid level.
If the fluid level is not sufficient, you will
need to add appropriate non-abrasive
windshield washer fluid to the washer
reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in the
front of the engine compartment on the
passenger side.
CAUTION - Washer pump
To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
WARNING - Obscured
visibility
Do not use the washer in freezing
temperatures without first warming
the windshield with the defrosters;
the washer solution could freeze on
the windshield and obscure your
vision.
CAUTION - Wiper position
When washing the vehicle, set the
wiper switch in the off position to
stop the auto wiper operation.
The wiper may operate and be dam-
aged if the switch is set in the AUTO
mode while washing the vehicle.
