NOTE
The wiper operates only when the ig-
nition switch is in the #ON$ or #ACC$
position.
Clean your wiper blades and window
glass periodically with a washer solu-
tion to prevent streaking, and to re-
move accumulations of road salt or
road film. Keep the washer button de-
pressed at least for 1 second so that
washer solution will be sprinkled all
over the windshield or rear window.
Grease, wax, insects or other materi-
al on the windshield or the wiper blade
results in jerky wiper operation and
streaking on the glass. If you cannot
remove those streaks after operating
the washer or if the wiper operation is
jerky, clean the outer surface of the
windshield or rear window and the wip-
er blades using a sponge or soft cloth
with a neutral detergent or mild-abra-
sive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the
window glass and wiper blades with
clean water. The glass is clean if no
beads form on the glass when you
rinse with water.
If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after following this procedure, re-
place the wiper blades with new ones.
Refer to the #Replacement of wiper
blades$ section (chapter 11) for re-
placement instructions.

To turn the wipers on, push the wiper con-
trol lever down.
To turn the wipers off, return the lever to
the #OFF$ position.
Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In ar-
eas where water freezes in winter,
use SUBARU Windshield Washer
Fluid or the equivalent. (See the
#Windshield washer fluid$ section
in chapter 11.)
Also, when driving the vehicle
when there are freezing tempera-
tures, use non-freezing type wiper
blades.
Do not clean the wiper blades with
gasoline or a solvent, such as
paint thinner or benzene. This will
cause deterioration of the wiper
blades.
