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. See "Engine Compartment
Overview" in the Index for reservoir location.
Adding Washer Fluid
Your vehicle has a CHECK WASHER FLUID message
that comes on in the DIC when the washer fluid is low.
Add washer fluid to the windshield washer fluid reservoir
when this message comes on. See "Check Washer Fluid
Message" in the Index for more information.
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the
engine compartment 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:
D
When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer's instructions for
adding water.
D
Don't mix water with ready
fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze
and damage your washer fluid tank and
other parts of the washer system. Also,
water doesn't clean as well as washer fluid.
D
Fill your washer fluid tank only
-
three
quarters full when it's very cold.
This allows for expansion if freezing
occurs, which could damage the tank if
it is completely full.
D
Don't use engine coolant (antifreeze) in
your windshield washer. It can damage
your washer system and paint.
