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 windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the

front of the engine compartment. Be sure to check the

fluid level in the reservoir at regular intervals. Fill the

reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radiator

antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds to

flush out the residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir, apply some

washer fluid to a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper

blades clean. This will help blade performance.

To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer system

in cold weather, select a solution or mixture that meets or

exceeds the temperature range of your climate. This

rating information can be found on most washer fluid

containers.
The fluid reservoir will hold nearly 1 gal (4 l) of washer

fluid when the message “Low Washer Fluid” appears in

the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

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.
