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” in the Index for reservoir location.
Adding Washer Fluid
When your vehicle’s windshield washer fluid level
becomes low, a CHECK WASHER FLUID message will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). You will
need to add fluid soon.
The windshield washer
fluid reservoir is located
next to the underhood fuse
block on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle.
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until the tank is full.

This allows for expansion if freezing
occurs, which could damage the tank if

your windshield washer. It can damage
your washer system and paint.
