The fluid reservoir is located in the engine
compartment and should be checked at regular
intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer
solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate the
system for a few seconds to flush out any residual
water.
The washer fluid reservoir will hold a full gallon of
fluid when the Low Washer Fluid Light illuminates.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite and
burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or
working around the washer solution.
After the engine has warmed, operate the
defroster for a few minutes to reduce the
possibility of smearing or freezing the fluid on the
cold windshield. Mopar® All Weather Windshield
Washer Solution or equivalent, used with water as
directed on the container, aids cleaning action,
reduces the freezing point to avoid line clogging,
and is not harmful to paint or trim.

battery. You will never have to add water, and
periodic maintenance is not required.

clothing. Do not lean over a battery when
attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or
on skin, flush the area immediately with large
amounts of water Ú page 202.

clamps should be tight on the terminal posts
and free of corrosion.
If a "fast charger" is used while the battery is
