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 low washer fluid message that comes
on when the washer fluid is low. The message is
displayed for 15 seconds at the start of each ignition
cycle. When the LOW WASHER FLUID message is
displayed, you will need to add washer fluid to the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
The windshield washer fluid
reservoir is located in the
engine compartment toward
the front of the vehicle on
the driver's side.
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.
