WASHER FLUID

WARNING: Some screen wash
products are flammable, particularly in
undiluted concentrations. Do not allow
screen wash fluid to come into contact with
open flames or sources of ignition.
WARNING: If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C (40°F), use a
washer fluid with frost protection. In cold
weather, failure to use a washer fluid with
frost protection could result in impaired
vision and an unsafe driving condition.
CAUTION: Body panels may suffer
discoloration as a result of screen
wash spillage. Take care to avoid spillage,
particularly if an undiluted or high
concentration is being used. If spillage
occurs, wash the affected area immediately
with water
The washer reservoir supplies both the
windshield and headlamp washer jets.
Check and fill up the reservoir level monthly
or more frequently in high use conditions.
If the quantity of fluid remaining in the
washer reservoir drops to less than one liter,
a message will be displayed on the
touch-screen diagnostic screen.
Operate the washers periodically to check
that the nozzles are clear and properly
directed

Filling up the washer reservoir
Note: National or local regulations may
restrict the use of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) which are commonly
used as antifreeze agents in washer fluid. A
washer fluid with limited VOC content
should be used only if it provides adequate
freeze resistance for all climates in which
the vehicle is operated.
1. Clean the filler cap before opening to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Open the filler cap.
3. Fill the reservoir with an approved fluid
until the fluid is visible just below the
filler neck. In cold climates, always fill up
with windshield washer fluid to prevent
freezing.
4. Install the filler cap.
