Windshield Washer Fluid - Chevrolet Impala 2007 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
A WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID message will
be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
when you need to add windshield washer fluid to
your vehicle. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 199 for more information.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 306
for more information on 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 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.
