Subaru Forester: Wipers and washers / Windshield washer operation
-
Set the wiper speed control switch to the OFF position before using the washer system.
-
Pull the lever gently toward you to spray washer fluid onto the windshield and activate the wipers for 1–3 wiping cycles when the glass is dirty. The spray and wiping operation will continue as long as the lever is held.
If the windshield washer does not operate, check the washer fluid level first. If the reservoir is low, add the proper non-abrasive windshield washer fluid before using the system again.
The washer fluid reservoir filler neck is located at the front of the engine compartment on the passenger side of the Kia Telluride.
WARNING
Do not use the washer system in freezing temperatures until the windshield has been warmed with the defroster. Washer fluid may freeze on the glass and block your view.
NOTE
To avoid possible washer pump damage, never operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
NOTE
-
To help prevent damage to the wiper blades or windshield, do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
-
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near the wiper blades, as these materials can damage the rubber and reduce wiping performance.
-
Do not attempt to move the wiper arms manually. Forcing them by hand may damage the wiper arms, linkage, or motor components.
-
During winter or cold weather, use windshield washer fluid containing antifreeze to help protect the Kia Telluride wiper and washer system from freezing.
