Windshield Washer Fluid
What
to
Use
When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read
the manufacturer’s instructions before use.
If
you will be
operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing. See Engine Compartment
Overview
on
page 5-12for reservoir location.
Adding
Washer
Fluid
W
Open the cap with the
washer symbol
on
it.
Add
washer fluid until
the tank is full.
Notice:
When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
adding water.
Don’t 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 doesn’t
clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill
your washer fluid tank only three-quarters
full when
it’s
very cold. This allows for
expansion
if
freezing occurs, which could
damage the tank if
it
is completely full.
Don’t use engine coolant (antifreeze) in your
windshield washer.
It
can damage your
washer system and paint.
