Washer Fluid

What to Use
Read the manufacturer's
instructions before refilling the
windshield washer fluid. If operating

symbol on it and add washer fluid
until full. See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 10 5 for reservoir
location.
Notice
When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions for
adding water.
Do not mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid.

washer fluid tank and other
parts of the washer system.

three-quarters full when it is
very cold. This allows for

windshield washer system
and paint.
