Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windshield washer fl uid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fl uid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
a ff ect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Using Washer Fluid Without
Anti-freeze Protection in Cold
Weather:
Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 °C (40 °F) using washer fl uid
without anti-freeze protection is
dangerous as it could cause impaired
windshield vision and result in an
accident. In cold weather, always use
washer fl uid with anti-freeze
protection.
NOTE
State or local regulations may restrict
the use of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), which are commonly used as
anti-freeze agents in washer fl uid. A
washer fl uid with limited VOC content
should be used only if it provides
adequate freeze resistance for all
regions and climates in which the
vehicle will be operated.
Inspect fl uid level in the washer fl uid
reservoir; add fl uid if necessary.
The top of the fl oat should be between
F and E.
Use plain water if washer fl uid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fl uid in cold
weather to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fl uid is supplied
from the same reservoir.
