Adding Washer Fluid

When the windshield washer fluid
reservoir is low, a WASHER FLUID
LOW ADD FLUID message will be
displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and
Messages
on page 3-58 for more
information.

Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on
page 5-12
for reservoir location.

Notice:

When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions
for adding water.

Do not 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
does not clean as well as
washer fluid.

Fill the washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it is
very cold. This allows for fluid
expansion if freezing occurs,
which could damage the tank if
it is completely full.

Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in your windshield
washer. It can damage the
vehicle’s windshield washer
system and paint.
