with washer fluid concentrates at full
strength. Some methyl alcohol based
washer fluid concentrates may permanently
stain the grille if spilled while filling the
window washer reservoir tank.
•Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with wa-
ter to the manufacturer’s recommended lev-
els before pouring the fluid into the window
washer reservoir tank. Do not use the win-

•If it is necessary to switch on the wipers in
dry weather conditions, always operate them
using washer fluid.
•If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may
be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
