Checking the washer fluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING - Coolant
- • Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
- • Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed on the
windshield and may cause loss of vehicle control or damage to paint and body
trim.
- • Windshield washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and
can be flammable under certain circumstances. Do not allow sparks or flame to
contact the washer fluid or the washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the vehicle
or occupants could occur.
- • Windshield washer fluid is poisonous to humans and animals. Do not
drink and avoid contacting windshield washer fluid. Serious injury or death
could occur.
