FILLING THE WASHER
RESERVOIRG090A01CM-AATThe washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to
the front and rear washer systems.
A good quality washer fluid should be
used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid
level should be checked more frequently
during inclement weather or whenever the
washer system is in more frequent use.
CAUTION:
o Radiator anti-freeze (engine coolant)
should not be used in the washer sys-
tem because it will damage the car's
finish.
o The washer should not be operated if
the washer reservoir is empty. This
can damage the washer fluid pump.

tain some amounts of alcohol and can
be flammable under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparks or flame
to contact the washer fluid or the
