WARNING -
• Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
• Radiator coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed on
the windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control or damage to
paint and body trim.
• Windshield washer fluid agents
contain some amounts of alcohol
and can be flammable under
certain circumstances. Do not
allow sparks or flame to contact the
washer fluid or the washer fluid
reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or
it's occupants could occur.
• Windshield washer fluid is
poisonous to humans and animals.
Do not drink and avoid contacting
windshield washer fluid. Serious
injury or death could occur.
BODY LUBRICATION
All moving points of the body, such as
doors, hood hinges and locks, should be
lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed.
Use a non-freezing lubricant on locks
during cold weather.
Make sure the engine hood secondary
latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
