14 Fluid for the windshield washer system is located in a plastic reser-
voir in the engine compartment (see illustration).
1 5 In milder climates, plain water can be used in the reservoir, but
it should be kept no more than 213 full to allow for expansion if the
water freezes. In colder climates, use windshield washer system anti-
freeze, available at any auto parts store, t o lower the freezing point
of the fluid. Mix the antifreeze with water in accordance with the
manufacturer's directions on the container. Caution: Don't use cooling
system antifreeze - it will damage the vehicle's paint.
16 To help prevent icing in cold weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before using the washer.

Battery electrolyte

1 7 All vehicles with which this manual is concerned are equipped with
a battery which is permanently sealed (except for vent holes) and has
no filler caps. Water doesn't have to be added to these batteries at
any time. If a maintenance-type battery is installed, the caps on the
top of the battery should be removed periodically to check for a low
water level. This check is most critical during the warm summer months.
