Wipers andWashers

WINDSHIELDWIPERS Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you switch the windshield wipers on. Note: Make sure you switch the windshield wipers off before entering a car wash. Note: If you use a car wash with a waxing cycle, make sure that you remove the wax from the windshield and the wiper blades. Note: If streaks or smears appear on the windshield, clean the windshield and the wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper Blades (page 194). If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper blades. See Changing the Front Wiper Blades (page 195). Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch the glass, damage thewiper blades or cause thewiper motor to burn out. Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield.

Note: If you press and hold the wiper lever in position A, the wipers will continue to wipe until you release the wiper lever. Intermittent Wipe
