Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from

the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with

petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:

Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending

on geographical area and frequency of use. Poor perfor-

mance of blades may be present with chattering, marks,

water lines or wet spots. If any of these conditions are

present, clean the wiper blades or replace as necessary.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment

and should be checked at regular intervals. Fill the

reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radiator

antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds to

flush out any residual water.
The washer fluid reservoir will hold a full gallon of fluid

when the Low Washer Fluid Light illuminates.

WARNING!

Commercially available windshield washer solvents
are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care
must be exercised when filling or working around
the washer solution.

After the engine has warmed, operate the defroster for a

few minutes to reduce the possibility of smearing or

freezing the fluid on the cold windshield. MOPAR® All

Weather Windshield Washer Solution or equivalent, used

with water as directed on the container, aids cleaning

action, reduces the freezing point to avoid line clogging,

and is not harmful to paint or trim.
