Wipers and Washers – Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there streaks and smears on
the windshield?
The wiper blades could be dirty, worn
or damaged. Check the wiper blades. If the wiper blades are dirty,
clean them with washer fluid or water
applied with a soft sponge or cloth. If
the wiper blades are worn or damaged,
install new ones.
Washer Precautions
WARNING: If you operate your
vehicle in temperatures below 41°F
(5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze
protection. Failure to use washer fluid
with antifreeze protection in cold
weather could result in impaired
windshield vision and increase the risk
of injury or accident...
