Adding Washer Fluid

When the windshield washer fluid is low, a low washer
fluid light may appear on the instrument panel cluster.
See Low Washer Fluid Warning Light on page 3-45
for more information.

In addition, if your vehicle has a Driver Information
Center (DIC), the LOW WASHER FLUID message will
display when the fluid level is low. See DIC Warnings
and Messages
on page 3-56 for more information.

Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until the
tank is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 5-12 for reservoir
location.

Notice:

When using concentrated washer fluid, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.

Do not mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the solution to freeze and
damage your washer fluid tank and other parts
of the washer system. Also, water does not clean
as well as washer fluid.

Fill the washer fluid tank only three-quarters
full when it is very cold. This allows for fluid
expansion if freezing occurs, which could
damage the tank if it is completely full.

Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze) in your
windshield washer. It can damage the vehicle’s
windshield washer system and paint.
