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
Your vehicle has a message that comes on when the
washer fluid is low. The message is displayed for
15 seconds at the start of each ignition cycle if the fluid
is low. When the CHECK WASHER FLUID message is
displayed, you will need to add washer fluid to the
windshield washer fluid reservoir. See
DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 4 ‑ 52 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 6
‑ 16 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.
