Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
switching on the windshield wipers.

windshield wipers before entering a car
wash.

Note: Clean the windshield and wiper
blades if they begin to leave streaks or
smears. If that does not resolve the issue,
install new wiper blades.

Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps

Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes
in air pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•

The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).

•

A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
•

A water puddle inside the lamp.

•

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
