Switch on the ignition.

If the windshield wipers leave smears on the

windshield after the car has been driven through
an automatic car wash, then wax or other resi-
due is on the windshield. Shortly after washing
the car in an automatic car wash, clean the wind-
shield with windshield washer fluid.

Do not operate the windshield wipers when

the windshield is dry. Dust that accumulates on
a windshield might scratch the glass and/or
damage the wiper blades when wiping occurs on
a dry windshield. If it is necessary to operate the
windshield wipers in dry weather conditions, al-
ways operate the windshield wipers with wind-
shield washer fluid.

If anything blocks the windshield wipers

(leaves, snow, etc.), switch them off immediate-
ly.
