Windshield Washer Fluid
What to Use
When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read
the manufacturer's instructions before use. If you will be
operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
The CHECK WASHER FLUID message will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when
the fluid is low.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for
reservoir location.
The windshield washer
fluid reservoir is located
in front of the underhood
fuse block on the
passenger's side of
the vehicle.
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer
fluid until the tank is full.
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 your washer fluid tank only three-quarters
full when it is very cold. This allows for
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 your washer
system and paint.
