WASHER FLUID

Before you drive, make sure the
windshield washer fluid reservoir is at
the appropriate level and filled with the
correct solution.
In cold weather, do not fill the wind-
shield washer fluid reservoir more than
three quarters full.
Washer fluid can freeze to expand in
cold temperatures. Filling the reservoir
too much does not allow enough
expansion room to prevent possible
damage to the reservoir.
Adding Windshield Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer symbol on
it. Add washer fluid until the tank is full.
See Engine Compartment Overview on
page 9-5 for reservoir location.
To refill windshield washer fluid
reservoir :
Ÿ Use only General Motor India Pvt.
Ltd. ready-to-use washer fluid for
that purpose.
Do not use tap water. Minerals
Ÿ
present in tap water may plug the
windshield washer lines.
If air temperature is likely to go be-
Ÿ
low freezing, use windshield washer
fluid which has sufficient anit-
freezing property.
Caution
Do not put water or radiator anti-
freeze in windscreen washer reservoir.
Water can allow solution to freeze.
Frozen solution can damage wind-
shield washer system.
Radiator antifreeze can damage wind-
shield washer system and vehicle
paint.
