Windshield Washers - Honda 2001 Accord Coupe Owner's Manual

Windshield Washers

Check the level in the windshield
washer reservoir at least monthly
during normal usage. In bad weather,
when you use the washers often,
check the level every time you stop
for fuel.
4-cylinder models
The windshield washer reservoir is
located behind the driver's side
headlight.
6-cylinder models
The windshield washer reservoir is
located behind the passenger's side
headlight.
On Canadian models
The low washer level indicator will
light when the level is low (see page
62 ).
Check the reservoir's fluid level by
removing the cap and looking at the
level gauge attached to the cap.
Maintenance
LEVEL GAUGE
4-cylinder models
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.
When you refill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windshield wiper
blades with windshield washer fluid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition the blade edges.

6-cylinder models
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or a
vinegar/water solution in the
windshield washer reservoir.
Antifreeze can damage your car's paint,
while a vinegar/water solution can
damage the windshield washer pump.
Use only commercially-available
windshield washer fluid.
