Washer Fluid

What to Use

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

Adding Windshield Washer
Fluid

Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank 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 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.
