What Kind of Washer Fluid to
Use
When the windshield washer fluid is
needed, be sure to read the manufacturer's
instructions before using. If the temperature
in an area where you are driving falls below
0°C, washer fluid with sufficient freezing
protection ability should be used.

Open the filler cap with a washer symbol.
Add the washer fluid to the indicated mark.
Refer to "Service and Maintenance" in Sec-
tion 7 "Engine Compartment" for the posi-
tion of the reservoir. The washer fluid
reservoir of the windshield provides washer
fluid for the washers of the front and rear
windshields.
If concentrated washer fluid is used,
dilute it with water according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not add water to ready-to-use washer
fluid.
Otherwise, it may cause the washer fluid to
be frozen and damage the washer fluid res-
ervoir and other components of the washer
system.
In addition, the cleaning ability of water can
not match the washer fluid.
In very cold weather, the washer fluid reser-
voir can only be added to 3/4 full. This pro-
vides a space for the washer fluid to expand
when it freezes, to avoid reservoir damage
caused by freezing and expansion of the
washer fluid in a full reservoir.
Do not use the engine coolant (antifreeze)
for the windshield washer. This may dam-
age the windshield washer system and
paint finish of the vehicle.
