Operating windscreen washers

1
Move the wiper speed control switch to In OFF position.
2
Pull the lever gently toward you to spray washer fluid on the windscreen and to run the wipers 1-3 cycles. Use this function when the windscreen is dirty. 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 windscreen washer fluid to the washer reservoir.

The reservoir filler neck is located in the front of the motor compartment on the passenger side.

CAUTION

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

WARNING

Do not use the washer in freezing temperatures without first warming the windscreen with the defrosters; the washer solution could freeze on the windscreen and obscure your vision.

CAUTION
  • To prevent possible damage to the wipers or windscreen, do not operate the wipers when the windscreen is dry.

  • To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use petrol, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.

  • To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not attempt to move the wipers manually.

  • To prevent possible damage to the wipers and washer system, use anti-freezing washer fluids in the winter season or cold weather.
