Washer Fluid

What to Use

When windshield washer fluid
is needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating vehicle in an area
where the temperature can fall
below freezing, use a fluid that
has sufficient protection against
freezing.

Adding Washer Fluid

Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the reservoir is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10‑6
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 the
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 the windshield
washer. It can damage the
windshield washer system
and paint.
