Check the level of fluid in the windshield washer tank. In addition, spray windshield
washer fluid and operate the windshield wipers to check for any areas not properly
wiped. At this time, also check the windshield washer's spraying condition.
ADVICE
•
Upon factory shipment, new vehicles contain only tap water in the washer fluid
tank. Adjust the concentration of the fluid to suit your own usage.
•
Follow the instructions provided with the windshield washer fluid regarding the
ratio for mixing with tap water.
•
Poor quality products, engine coolant, and soapy water must not be used.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in nozzle blockage or damage to
painted surfaces.
•
The washer should never be used while the tank is empty. Operating the
washer with the tank empty can result in motor damage.
