When to Add
This symbol, along with the LOW WASHER FLUID message comes on in the Driver's Information Center (DIC) when the windshield washer fluid is low.
What to Use
When windshield washer fluid needs to be added, be sure to read the coolant manufacturer's instructions before use. If the vehicle will be operating in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment on the passenger's side of the vehicle near the diagonal cross brace. See Engine Compartment Overview for reservoir location.
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer fluid until the windshield washer reservoir 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.
