What Washer Fluid to Use

When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read
the manufacturer's instructions before use. If you will be
operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing. See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12 for reservoir location.

Adding Washer Fluid

Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until
the tank is full.
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 your washer fluid tank and other parts
of the washer system. Also, water does not
clean as well as washer fluid.
•
Fill your washer fluid tank only three-quarters
full when it is very cold. This allows for
expansion if freezing occurs, which could
damage the tank if it is completely full.
•
Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze) in your
windshield washer. It can damage your washer
system and paint.
