Check the f luid level in the
windshield washer reservoir at least
monthly during normal use.If the washer f luid is low, a ‘‘LOW
WASHER FLUID’’ message appears
on the multi-information display.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer f luid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents f reezing in cold weather.
When you ref ill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windshield wiper
blades with windshield washer f luid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition the blade edges.
To check washer fluid level, cover
the reservoir cap center hole with
your finger while lifting the
cap and the attached measuring
tube. The washer fluid level in the
tube will indicate the washer
fluid level in the reservoir.

Do not use engine antif reeze or a
vinegar/water solution in the
windshield washer reservoir. Antif reeze
can damage your vehicle’s paint, while
a vinegar/water solution can damage
the windshield washer pump. Use only
commercially-available windshield
washer f luid.
