The spray and wiper operation will
continue 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.

NOTICE

To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.

CAUTION

• To prevent possible damage

to the wipers or windshield,
do not operate the wipers
when the windshield is dry.

• To prevent damage to the

wiper blades, do not use gaso-
line, kerosene, paint thinner,
or other solvents on or near
them.

• To prevent damage to the

wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
