Windshield Washer Fluid
What to Use
When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to
read the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you
will be operating your vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that
has sufficient protection against freezing.
Adding Windshield Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until the
tank is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 5-12 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 your washer fluid tank only three-quarters full
when it is very cold. This allows for 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 your washer
system and paint.
