Wipers and Washers
NOTICE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
NOTICE
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck. Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the defroster to warm the windshield, then turn the wipers on. Turn the washers off if no washer fluid comes out. The pump may get damaged. If the vehicle speeds up while the wipers are operating intermittently, the length of the wipe interval shortens. When the vehicle starts moving, the wipers make a single sweep.
When the vehicle speeds up, the wiper operation’s shortest delay setting
and the LO setting become the same.
