9-22 Vehicle Care
Washer Fluid
What to Use
Read the manufacturer's
instructions before re-filing the
windshield washer fluid. If operating
the vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below freezing,
use a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
The “Washer Fluid Low Add Fluid”
message will appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the
fluid level is low. See Driver
Information Center (DIC)
on
page 4‑25
for more information.
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it and add washer fluid
until full. See Engine Compartment
Overview
on page 9‑6
for
reservoir location.
Notice:
.
When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer's instructions
for adding water.
.
Do not mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the solution
to freeze and damage the
washer fluid tank and other
parts of the washer system.
Also, water does not clean as
well as washer fluid.
.
Fill the washer fluid tank
only three-quarters full
when it is very cold. This
allows for fluid expansion
if freezing occurs, which
could damage the tank if it
is completely full.
.
Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the windshield
washer. It can damage the
vehicle's windshield washer
system and paint.
