WINDSHIELD WASHERS AND

WIPERS

The Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir is

located behind the front hood panel (see “Front
Service Access” elsewhere in this section for
instructions on opening the hood panel).

We recommend using commercially available

premixed solutions for best results. Avoid using
water in freezing temperatures, as the washer
pump could become damaged.

TIRES

Improper tire pressure can result in tire

overloading and abnormal wear and also affects
handling, ride characteristics, and fuel economy.
