How to Check Windshield
Washer Fluid

To check windshield washer fluid.

1. Pull dipstick out of windshield

washer reservoir.

2. Washer fluid should fill the holes

between the LOW (B) and
NORMAL (A) mark.

3. If the fluid reads LOW (B) add

fluid.

Adding Washer Fluid

Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the holes of the dipstick
are filled between the LOW (B)
and NORMAL (A). See Engine
Compartment Overview
on
page 9-6
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 your
washer fluid tank and other
parts of the washer system.
Also, water does not clean
as well as washer fluid.

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 your windshield
washer. It can damage the
vehicle’s windshield washer
system and paint.
