Windshield Washer Fluid; Adding Washer Fluid - Pontiac G6 2009 Owner's Manual

Windshield Washer Fluid

What to Use
When the vehicle needs windshield washer fluid, be
sure to read the manufacturer's instructions before use.
If the vehicle will be operating in an area where the
temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against freezing.

Adding Washer Fluid

When the windshield washer fluid reservoir is low,
a LOW WASHER FLUID message displays on
the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-48 for more information.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-14 for
reservoir location.
Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until
the reservoir 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 the washer fluid tank only three-quarters
full when it is very cold. This allows for fluid
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 the vehicle's
windshield washer system and paint.
