Adding Washer Fluid
The Washer Fluid Low Add Fluid message will appear on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the fluid level is
low. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for
more information.
Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until the
tank is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 5-14 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 your washer fluid tank and other parts of
the washer system. Also, water does not clean as
well as washer fluid.
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 your
windshield washer. It can damage the vehicle’s
windshield washer system and paint.
