Check the fluid level in the
windshield washer reservoir at least
monthly during normal use.
Check the fluid level by removing
the cap and looking at the level
gauge.
The low washer
level indicator comes on when the
level is low (see page ). 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.
