Washer fluid
Washer fluid is used when wiping the
windscreen of the vehicle with a
windscreen wiper. You should check and
refill washer fluid periodically to make
sure that it doesn't run out.
Checking the washer fluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
僅 Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces
-
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available. However,
use washer solvent with antifreeze
characteristics in cold climates to pre
-
vent freezing.
