Windshield Washers - Honda Accord Sedan 1997 Reference Owner's Manual

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.
The windshield washer reservoir is
located behind the headlight.
4 cylinder models
Check the reservoir's fluid level by
removing the cap and looking at the
level gauge attached to the cap.
6 cylinder models
Check the reservoir's fluid level by
removing the cap and looking at the
float. It should be up to the top of the
neck. If the float is at the bottom of
the neck, the reservoir is nearly
empty.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.
