MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.
Window Washer Fluid
If the washer fluid is low, a message appears on the
multi-information display.
Pour the washer fluid carefully into the washer fluid
reservoir (see page 115). Do not overflow the
reservoir.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield
washer reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle's paint. A vinegar/water
solution can damage the windshield washer pump.
Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by the sensor
on the negative terminal. If there is a problem with
the sensor, a message appears on multi-information
display. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.
For jump starting the battery, see page 99.
WARNING
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
