Windshield Washer Spray Nozzle: Adjustments

Wiper Arm/Nozzle Adjustment

The Acura RL has two wiper arms stop positions. One is the normal position (summer position) and the other is the winter position. To adjust the wiper arms to the winter position, hold the middle of both wiper blades (A) at the same time. Pull on the arms, parallel to the windshield, until they lock in the higher position. To return to the normal position (summer position), push the same area of both arms in the opposite direction.






Wiper arms park position

1. Turn the wiper switch ON, and then OFF.

2. When the wiper arms stop at the automatic stop position, confirm the wiper arms are at the standard position.

3. When you turn on the washers, confirm 50 % or more of the washer fluid lands within the spray area. If the spray area is not within the standard positions, adjust the nozzles.

NOTE: The driver's side is symmetrical to the passenger's side.
