The fluid level should be between
the MIN (Minimum) and MAX
(Maximum) marks when the engine
is cold, and at the MAX mark when
the engine is hot. If the fluid is at the
MIN mark when the engine is cold
or hot, power steering fluid should
be added.
If the fluid is at or below the MIN
mark on the dipstick, add just
enough fluid to bring the level
between the MIN and MAX marks.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to
use, see Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11 12. Always
use the proper fluid.
Power Steering Fluid

(2.4L with eAssist)

The vehicle has electric power
steering and does not use power
steering fluid.

Washer Fluid

What to Use
When windshield washer fluid is
needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an
area where the temperature may
fall below freezing, use a fluid that
has sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10 6 for reservoir location.
Vehicle Care
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 the
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 the windshield
washer. It can damage the
windshield washer system
and paint.
