Check the level in the windshield
washer reservoir at least monthly
during normal use. In bad weather,
when you use the washers often,
check the level every time you
stop for fuel. This reservoir
supplies the windshield and rear
window washers.
The windshield washer reservoir
is located behind the passenger’s
side headlight. Check the
reservoir’s fluid level by removing
the cap and looking at the level
gauge attached to the cap.
The low washer level indicator will
light when the level is low (see
page
).
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.
When you refill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windshield wiper
blades with windshield washer fluid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition the blade edges.
