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. This reservoir supplies the

windshield and rear window washers.

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.

Canadian Models

The low washer level indicator will

light when the level is low (see page

56

).

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.

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.
