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.
How to Check Windshield Washer Fluid
To check windshield washer fluid.
- Pull dipstick out of windshield washer reservoir.
- Washer fluid should fill the holes between the LOW (B) and NORMAL (A) mark.
- If the fluid reads LOW (B) add fluid.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer fluid until the holes of the dipstick are filled between the LOW (B) and NORMAL (A). See Engine Compartment Overview 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 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.
