CAUTION:
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windshield washer; it will
damage the paint.
Do not use a vinegar/water combination in the windshield
washer; it will damage the pump. Prolonged operation of the washer without fluid may damage
the pump.
In freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defrosters
before using the washer. This will help prevent icing which could
seriously impair visibility.
