CHECKING AND ADDING
WASHER FLUID
What you should know about
washer fluid
In freezing weather (temperatures
below 0°C [32°F], washer fluid
containing a small amount of
antifreeze is used. State or local
regulations on volatile organic
compounds may restrict the use of
methanol, a common type of
antifreeze. Use a non-methanol
antifreeze in freezing weather only
if the fluid does not damage the
paint finish, wiper blades, or
washer system.
Washer fluid contains
methanol and is poisonous.
Follow all instructions on the
bottle of washer fluid.
