NOTICE

Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.

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 or heated windshield button* to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before turning on the wipers.
