  1. Turn the wiper speed control switch to OFF.
  2. Gently pull the lever toward you to spray washer fluid on the windscreen and run the wipers 1–3 cycles when the windscreen is dirty. The spray and wiper operation will continue until you release the lever.

    If the windscreen 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 fluid reservoir.

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

WARNING

Do not use the washer in freezing temperatures before warming the windscreen with the defroster, as the washer solution could freeze on the windscreen and obscure your view.

NOTE

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

NOTE

  • 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 the wiper blades.

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

  • To prevent damage to the wipers and washer system, use washer fluid containing anit-freeze in the winter season or cold weather.
