Adding Washer Fluid
A WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID message will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when
you need to add windshield washer fluid to your vehicle.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-49 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
more information on 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.
