wiper blades HONDA ACCORD 2006 CL7 / 7.G Owners Manual

Check the level in the windshield
washer reservoir at least monthly
during normal use.
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.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer f luid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents f reezing in cold weather.
Check the reservoir’s f luid level by
removing the cap and looking at the
level gauge attached to the cap.
The low washer
level indicator comes on when the
level is low (see page ). 63
