Adding Washer Fluid

The fluid reservoir is located under the hood and should

be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the

reservoir with windshield washer solvent only (not ra-

diator antifreeze). When refilling the washer fluid reser-

voir, take some washer fluid and apply it 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.

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.

After the engine has warmed up, operate the defroster for

a few minutes to reduce the possibility of smearing or

freezing the fluid on the cold windshield. Windshield

washer solution used with water as directed on the

container, aids cleaning action, reduces the freezing point

to avoid line clogging, and is not harmful to paint or trim.
