Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it and add washer fluid until full. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 10‑6 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 the 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 the windshield washer. It can damage
the windshield washer system and paint.
