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. See Engine Compartment Overview for reservoir location.
Adding Washer Fluid
Your vehicle has a low washer fluid message that comes on when the washer fluid is low. The message is displayed for 15 seconds at the start of each ignition cycle. When the LOW WASHER FLUID message is displayed, you will need to add washer fluid to the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment toward the front of the vehicle on the driver's side.
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer fluid until the tank is full.
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.
