Washer Fluid

What to Use

When windshield washer fluid
is needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an
area where the temperature may
fall below freezing, use a fluid that
has sufficient protection against
freezing.

Adding Washer Fluid

The WASHER FLUID LOW ADD
FLUID message appears on the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
when the fluid level is low.

Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
up to the fill mark. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10‑6
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.

.

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
windshield washer system
and paint.
