WASHER FLUID
Checking the washer fluid
level
The reservoir is translucent so that
you can check the level with a quick
visual inspection.
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 cli-
mates to prevent freezing.

on the windshield and may
cause loss of vehicle control or

of alcohol and can be flamma-
ble under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparks

voir. Damage to the vehicle or
