Rules for using windshield wipers and washers (Hyundai Sonata EF)

1. If the wipers stop moving while the windshield wiper is in operation due to ice or other obstructions on the glass, the wiper motor may burn out even if the windshield wipers are turned off. In this case, stop the car in a safe place, turn off the ignition and remove the obstruction from the glass to ensure free movement of the wipers.

2. Do not turn on the windshield wiper when the glass is dry. This may result in scratches on the glass and premature wear of the wiper blades.

Note: It is recommended to replace your wiper blades periodically as sand and other contaminants on them can cause scratches on the glass.

3. Before turning on the windshield wiper in cold weather, make sure that the blades are not frozen to the glass. Turning on the windshield wiper with the blades frozen to the glass can cause the windshield wiper motor to burn out.

4. If the washer does not work, do not try to turn it on again - check the washer pump.

5. Do not use the washer continuously for more than 15 seconds. Do not turn on the washer if there is no washer fluid in the reservoir, as this may cause the washer motor to burn out.

6. Check the fluid level in the washer reservoir periodically and add fluid if necessary. In cold weather, add the recommended solution to the fluid so that it does not freeze in the reservoir. Otherwise, the washers may come out of failure due to damage to system parts by frozen liquid.

7. When using the washers in cold weather, the washer fluid supplied to the glass may freeze on it, which will impair visibility. In such weather, turn on the glass heater first before using the washer.
