WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID

Checking and adding washer
fluid

Check the washer fluid whenever

you stop for fuel.
If the level is low, add enough fluid

to fill the reservoir. In very cold

weather, do not fill the reservoir all

the way.

Do not put engine coolant

in the container for the

windshield washer fluid. If

sprayed on the windshield, engine

coolant could make it difficult to

see through the windshield.
