Remove the washer tank filler cap, then
add windshield washer fluid.
& Windshield washer fluid
S11AX02
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield
washer fluid is unavailable, use clean
water.
In areas where water freezes in winter, use
an anti-freeze type windshield washer
fluid.
If you fill the reservoir tank with a fluid with
a different concentration from the one
used previously, purge the old fluid from
the piping between the reservoir tank and
washer nozzles by operating the washer
for a certain period of time. Otherwise, if
the concentration of the fluid remaining in
the piping is too low for the outside
temperature, it may freeze and block the
nozzles.
CAUTION
. Adjust the washer fluid concen-
tration appropriately for the out-
side temperature. If the concen-
tration is inappropriate, sprayed
washer fluid may freeze on the
windshield and obstruct your
view, and the fluid may freeze in
the reservoir tank.
. State or local regulations on
volatile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol, a
common windshield washer anti-
freeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol anti-
freeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging
your vehicle’s paint, wiper blades
or washer system.
11-19. Replacement of wiper
blades
S11AZ
Grease, wax, insects, or other material on
the windshield or the wiper blade results in
jerky wiper operation and streaking on the
glass. If you cannot remove the streaks
after operating the windshield washer or if
the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer
surface of the windshield and rear window
using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral
detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. Do not,
however, use detergent to clean the blade
rubbers. Use only a sponge or soft cloth
(and no neutral detergent or mild abrasive
cleaner) when you clean the blade rub-
bers. If you wipe the rubber of the blade
strongly, the black coating component will
peel off, which will cause the wiper to
judder. Also, after wiping it off, check that
the rubber has not come loose. After
cleaning the window glass and wiper blade
rubbers, be sure to rinse them with clean
water. Rinse the window until the water
does not form beads on the glass. This
indicates that the glass is clean.
CAUTION
. Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
