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.
Adding Washer Fluid
A WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID message
will be displayed on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) when you need to add windshield washer
fluid to your vehicle. See
DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 195 for more information.
Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid
until the tank is full.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 308
for more information on 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 your washer fluid tank
and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water does not clean as well
as washer fluid.
•
Fill your washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it is very cold.
This allows for expansion if freezing
occurs, which could damage the tank if it
is completely full.
•
Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze) in
your windshield washer. It can damage
your washer system and paint.
