. In freezing weather, be sure that
the blade rubbers are not frozen
to the windshield or rear window
before switching on the wipers.
Attempting to operate the wiper
with the blade rubbers frozen to
the window glass could cause
not only the blade rubbers to be
damaged but also might cause
the wiper motor to fail. If the blade
rubbers are frozen to the window
glass, be sure to operate the
defroster or windshield wiper
deicer (if equipped) or rear win-
dow defogger before turning on
the wiper.
. If the wipers stop during opera-
tion because of ice or some other
obstruction on the window, this
might cause the wiper motor to
fail even if the wiper switch is
turned off. If this occurs,
promptly stop the vehicle in a
safe location, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK”/“OFF” po-
sition and clean the window glass
to allow proper wiper operation.
. Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in
winter, use SUBARU Windshield
Washer Fluid or the equivalent.
Refer to “Windshield Washer
Fluid” �P483.
Also, when driving the vehicle
when there are freezing tempera-
tures, use non-freezing type wi-
per blades.
. Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.
NOTE
. The windshield wiper motor is pro-
tected against overloads by a circuit
breaker. If the motor operates con-
tinuously under an unusually heavy
load, the circuit breaker may trip to
stop the motor temporarily. If this
happens, park your vehicle in a safe
location, turn off the wiper switch,
and wait for approximately 10 min-
utes. The circuit breaker will reset
itself, and the wipers will again
operate normally.
. Clean your blade rubbers and win-
dow glass periodically with a washer
solution to prevent streaking, and to
remove accumulations of road salt
or road film. Operate the windshield
washer for at least 1 second so that
washer solution will be sprinkled all
over the windshield or rear window.
. Grease, wax, insects, or other mate-
rial on the windshield or the wiper
blade results in jerky wiper opera-
tion 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, how-
ever, use detergent to clean the
blade rubbers. Use only a sponge
or soft cloth (and no neutral deter-
gent or mild abrasive cleaner) when
you clean the blade rubbers. If you
wipe the rubber of the blade
strongly, the black coating compo-
nent will peel off, which will cause
the wiper to judder. Also, after wip-
ing it off, check that the rubber has
not come loose. After cleaning the
window glass and wiper blade rub-
bers, 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.
. If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after following this procedure,
replace the wiper blades (or blade
