Windshield Washers - Acura 2009 TL Owner's Manual

Windshield Washers

Check the fluid level in the
windshield washer reservoir at least
monthly during normal use.
On U.S. models
To check washer fluid level, cover
the reservoir cap center hole with
your finger while lifting the cap and
the attached measuring tube. The
washer fluid level in the tube will
indicate the washer fluid level in the
reservoir.
On Canadian models
If the washer fluid is low, a ''LOW
WASHER FLUID'' message appears
on the multi-information display.

Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.
When you refill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windshield wiper
blades with windshield washer fluid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition the blade edges.
Do not use engine antif reeze or a
vinegar/water solution in the
windshield washer reservoir. Antif reeze
can damage your vehicle's paint, while
a vinegar/water solution can damage
the windshield washer pump. Use only
commercially-available windshield
washer f luid.
