LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS

Checking the washer fluid level

The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.

This warning light indicates
the washer fluid reservoir is
near empty. Refill the washer
fluid as soon as possible.

Body lubrication

All moving points of the body, such as
door hinges, hood hinges, and locks,
should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed. Use a non-freez-
ing lubricant on locks during cold weath-
er.
Make sure the engine hood secondary
latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.

WARNING -

Coolant

• Do not use radiator coolant or

antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.

• Radiator coolant can severely

obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windshield and may cause
loss of vehicle control or damage
to paint and body trim.

• Windshield washer fluid agents

contain some amounts of alcohol
and can be flammable under cer-
tain circumstances. Do not allow
sparks or flame to contact the
washer fluid or the washer fluid
reservoir. Damage to the vehicle
or it's occupants could occur.

• Windshield washer fluid is poi-

sonous to humans and animals.
Do not drink and avoid contacting
windshield washer fluid. Serious
injury or death could occur.
