■ Using the gauge
The washer fluid level can be checked
by observing the position of the level on
the liquid-covered holes in the gauge.
If the level falls below the second hole
from the bottom (the “LOW” position),
refill the washer fluid.
Current fluid level
Check the air cleaner filter as fol-
lows:
1 Disengage each clamp of the air
cleaner case.
2 Release the clips.
3 Lift the cover and take out the
air cleaner filter.
Inspect the outer surface of the filter,
and replace the filter if it is extremely
dirty. If the filter is only moderately
dusty, use compressed air to blow dust
WARNING
■ When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the
engine is hot or running as washer
fluid contains alcohol and may catch
fire if spilled on the engine, etc.
NOTICE
■ Do not use any fluid other than
washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine
antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the
vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as
damaging the pump leading to prob-
lems of the washer fluid not spraying.
