20, ADJUSTMENT, Front Washer Nozzle.>

C: INSPECTION

• Make sure the nozzle and hose are not clogged.
• Make sure the hose is not bent.

D: ADJUSTMENT

1) Turn the wiper switch to OFF position.
2) While the vehicle is at standstill, adjust the wash-
er injection position as shown in the figure.

Injection position:

A: 250 mm (9.84 in)
B: 435 mm (17.13 in)

Injection angle should be adjusted with 0.5 mm
(0.020 in) thickness steel scale. Use maximum
thickness of 0.5 mm (0.020 in) steel scale, because
the injection slit width of washer nozzle is 0.6 mm
(0.024 in). Adjusting with a flat tip driver may dam-
age the injection slit resulting in faulty injection.
