Windshield Washers, Transmission Fluid
Windshield Washers
Check the level in the windshield
washer reservoir at least monthly
during normal usage. In bad weather,
when you use the washers often,
check the level every time you stop
for fuel.
The windshield washer reservoir is
located behind the driver's side
headlight. Check the reservoir's fluid
level by removing the cap and
looking at the level gauge attached
to the cap.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.
WINDSHIELD WASHER RESERVOIR
Do not use engine antifreeze or a
vinegar/water solution in the
windshield washer reservoir.
Antifreeze can damage your car's paint,
while a vinegar/water solution can
damage the windshield washer pump.
Use only commercially-available
windshield washer fluid.
The engine and transmission must
be at normal operating temperature
before checking the fluid level. Drive
the vehicle at least 10 miles (16
kilometers) before checking.
1. Park the car on level ground. Shut
off the engine. For accurate
results, wait at least 60 seconds,
and no more than 90 seconds,
after shutting off the engine to
check the fluid level.
