Vehicle Care

The level should be at the COLD
FILL mark. If necessary, add only
enough fluid to bring the level up to
the mark.

To prevent contamination of brake
fluid, never check or fill the power
steering reservoir with the brake
master cylinder cover off.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to
use, see Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11‑12
. Always
use the proper fluid. Failure to use
the proper fluid can cause leaks and
damage hoses and seals.

Washer Fluid

What to Use

When the vehicle needs windshield
washer fluid, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an
area where the temperature may 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 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 the
washer fluid tank and other
parts of the washer system.

.

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.
