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

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 if the fluid is low. 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
on the passenger's side of
the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 5-12 for
reservoir location.
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.
