Windshield Washer Fluid - Pontiac 2009 G8 Owner's Manual

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
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview on page 9-6
for reservoir location.
Vehicle Service and Care
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.
