Washer Fluid
Washer Fluid
When windshield washer fluid is needed, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions before use. If operating the vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
The WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID message appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the fluid level is low.
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer fluid up to the fill mark. 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 the washer fluid tank and
other parts of the washer system.
- 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.
