When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
adding water.
Don’t
mix water with ready-to-use washer
fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze
and damage
your washer fluid tank and
other
parts of the washer system. Also,
water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill your
washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it’s
very cold. This
allows for expansion if freezing occurs,
which could damage the tank
if it is
completely full.
Don’t use engine coolant (antifreeze) in
your windshield
washer. It can damage
your washer system and paint.
